PREFACE.

Fo R the fourth and last time I present myself to the
Public, as connected with the magnificent Library,
the treasures of which are in part disclosed in the
present and six preceding volumes. The Noble Owner
of these treasures might have been well satisfied in
setting all competition at defiance, even before he had
made himself master of the Collection, which now,
under the title of the Cassano Library, for the first
time,* claims the public attention. But his zeal, taste,
and liberal spirit, in the prosecution of that pursuit to
which he has devoted the last thirty-five years of his
life, forbade him to decline the acceptance of an offer,
by which the riches of his Collection might be said to
be increased even to repletion.

In the years 1819-20, during his Lordship's tour
on the Continent, The Duke di Cassano Serra, a
nobleman highly distinguished at Naples for his
ardour and perseverance in book-collecting — proposed
to him the purchase of his own (the Duke's) Col-
lection. Such a proposition, although sufficiently

* That is to say, in any descriptme form : as the Duke printed a short
catalogue of little more than the mere titles of his books in 1807, and
Giustiniani availed himself of the treasures of his library in his ac-
count of the early Neapolitan Press in 1793> 4to.

W PREFACE.

tempting of itself, would not have been complied with,
but for the opportunity, afforded in consequence, of
sti"engthening some of the more defective chtsses of
books in his Lordship's Collection ; among which, were
those relating to the early Neapolitan Press. Yet, even
on this score, the temptation would not have been suf-
ciently strong, had not the Duke's Library contained
the far-famed, and long-desired, edition of Horace,
printed at Naples in 1474, by Amoldus de Brucella. *
As there is no other known copy of this extraordinary
book, its acquisition may be considered of the very first
importance.

But the earlier productions of the Neapolitan Press
Included also another important edition of a Classic,
of hardly less rarity and value : namely, that of
Teben'ce, printed by Riesshiger, without date, but pro-
bably not later than 1471.-J- Of this impression, there
is not only no other copy in this country, but the only
known copy of it abroad, which was inspected by me,
at Stuttgart,X is imperfect. The other works, printed
by Riessinger and Arnoldus de Bruxella, and to be
found in this collection, are also of considerable con-
sequence ; especially as relating to the early laws and
customs of the kingdoms of Sicily and Naples.^ The
productions of Riessinger were usually edited by Fran-
cisco Tiippa, a man of acknowledged celebrity ; and
whose edition of ^sop (described in the third and
following pages) is yet one of the rarest and most desi-
rable volumes of the fifteenth century. But the Pki-
locola of Boccaccio, of the date of 1478, j) is perhaps

the rarest specimen of their united labours. Nor is
the Petrarch of 1477, printed by ArTioldus de Brux-
ella* to be much less diatinguiahed for its rarity.

The name of Moravits deservedly stands high in the
early jinnals of the Neapolitan Press. The Duke's
Collection (as the ensuing pages demonstrate) con-
tained the greater part of the rarer works of that
beautiful Printer, including many splendid specimens
of books of devotion, &c. — and among the ifirer Italian
Classics, his edition of Dante, of the date of 1477,-f-
may be especially noticed. The greater number of the
works printed in the Monasten/ i)f S.Javtipo di Ripoti.
at Florence, will be also found described in the follow-
ing pages ; while that exceedingly rare, if not unique,
impression of the Decameron of Boccaccio, noticed in
the previous volume, (pp. 299-302) and apparently
printed at the same press, J renders M/.« class of books,
in the Library of his Lordship, almost complete. Mean-
while it may not be irrelevant to notice the very rare
edition of the PhUocolo of the same Author, of the date
of 1472, by a Florentine printer, who is supposed (but
erroneously) to have been a descendant of Peter Schoi-
IFher of Mentz.^ It may be questioned whether two
other copies are known in this country. But while
the rarer editions of early Italian Classics come under

J The types, os hefore observed, have certainly a resemblance to
many of the worktt printed in a roman character, which issued from
the same monastic press : but would the monks venture upon such a
work aa the Decameron of Boccaccio ? And are we not led to be-
lieve that the rarity of early Impressions of the Decameron has pro-
ceeded from the destruction of them, instituted by the zeal of the
monks, with Savonarola at their head !

discussion, this notice of them must not be dis-
missed without the express mention of tlie Petrarch
of 1471, printed by Layer, and that of 1473, executed
by Zarotus :♦ books, which are now, almost for the
first time, incorporated in the pages of English Biblio-
graphy. With these, and with many others, to be
found in the General Inoex of the whole seven vo-
lumes, the Noble Owner may challenge competition
even with the finest public library in Europe.

A word or two remains to be said respecting the
acquisitions, found in the Cassano Collection, to the
rare specimens of printing at Rome ; and among these,
the edition of Juvenal, printed by Ulric Han in his
smallest letter, and beyond a doubt the edifio princeps
of the author — claims the foremost place, both for
intrinsic and extrinsic value.-f- It is the only copy of
the edition which has ever found its way into this coun-
try ; and with the exception of the copy in the Ma-
gliabecchi Library, and another in that of Count d'Eici
at Florence, there is no other known copy of it abroad.
These pages also contain evidence of the possession of
two other editions of the same poet, of almost equal
rarity ; namely, that by Gering, without date (but
probably not later than 1471) and that by Guldin-
beck in 1474. } If, to such acquisitions, we add, not
only all the other rare editions of the same poet, but
ALL the rare editions of the other Roman Poets, (and
particularly those of Firgil, Horace, and Ovid) it may

Rich as was the theological department. In the
first volume of the JEdes j4lthorpianae, it will be found,
on consulting the latter pages of the present volume,
that the riches of that department have increased.
And when the carefiil reader consults the divisions of
Theology, such as Bibles, Testaments, the Penta-
teuch, and Gospels, in the General Index, he will
want no additional stimulus to be convinced of the
unrivalled collection of the Sacred Text, which the
libraries of London and Althorp contain.

It must not however be supposed, that the ensuing
Collection exhibits the ivkole of theCAssANoLiBBARV.
A great number of rare and costly books was dis-
posed of, by auction,* as comprehending duplicates
of less desirable condition, while others were retained
as being of a preferable condition.

On thus taking a final leave of these magnificent and
truly precious productions, of which the description
has occupied nearly three thousand pages, (including
the present or 7th volume) I might be allowed to in-
dulge a feeling of no ordinary or irrational triumph ;
were not that feeling embittered, in some measure, by
a consideration of the caprice of public taste, and of
the poverty of public patronage.-|- At the terrain-

given for the three preceding volumes. I only state this fact — to be
registered among " Ihe CariosUin of Lileralure" — without offering
any other remark than what is above submitted.

Among the Criticisms, to which 6o copious a bibliographical work
was subjected, abroad, (tor, at home, there has been no review of it
worth particular mention) that written {as I understand) by M.
EsERT, Librarian of the Royal Library at Dresden, is among the
most elaborate and minute. 1 hare never seen it ; nor do I indeed
Aflou of its existence. But, from other specimens of M. Ebert's cri-
tical skill, about to be adduced, 1 should suspect it to betray no small
portion of ignorance of the English character, as well as language,
together with a plentiful sprinkling of personal malevolence.

Two years ago, appeared the first volume (it having been pre-
viously publislied in parts) of Mr. Ebert's Allgemeines BibliogTophUchet
Lexicon, in 4to, ; which has continued in progress, and extended as far
as the word Phsusus ; — that portion of it being recently published.
This work is doubtless entitled to very great praise, on the ground
of diligence and research : but when the author claimed for himself
aomelhinglike a total exemption from the errors with which he freely
taxied his contemporaries, he necessarily provoked nn examination into
his pretensions ; and a friend undertook * to point out a few errors in
one article only (Astdur) of Mr. Ebert's supposed faultless per-
formance. The German critic was not slow to retort.

In the sacne Lexicon, where my humble performances are duly
marshalled under the letter D, the Reviewer displays a pretty strong
disposition to under-rate what comes under his notice. I can forgive
his depreciation of the Bibliographical Decameron, because it is
evident that he is wholly divested of graphical tiiCe, and impervious
to the sallies of harmless mirth. Titles and colophons arc the con-
stant food upon which he feeds. The Bibliotheca Spcnceriana might
therefore have been more to bis likingj but even this work is coldly
dismissed, although his references (and of course his obligations) ta
it, in the pages of the Lexicon, are manifest and numerous.

&me — the principal consolation left nie^ is^ the con-
viction that my time and occupations have been ho«
nestly and usefully devoted. When the Study of Bib-
liography shall be more generally cultivated, its usies
will be more generally acknowledged. It will be found
to rank among those branches of antiquarian research,
which are as conducive to correct taste, and useful
intelligence, as any other ; nor can that department of

But all this may pass. It is on other ground that I here come
forward to meet M. Ebert. In a critical Journal^ called the Hermes,
there appeared a most elaborate review^ by him> of my Bibliogra'
phicaly Antiquarian, and Picturesque Tour; and of which the very com-
mencement shews the spirit in which it was undertaken. It is the
vulgar language of a prejudiced mind. Yet even this might be forgiven
—for the sake of the very pains-taking analysis of the contents of the
three volumes : an analysis^ however^ wholly unenlivened by one
pleasant remark^ and divested of all traits of a dispassionate judgment.
But it is towards the conclusion of it^ that the true spirit of the Dresden
Critic betrays itself. M. Ebert forgets the text of the touristy and
not only launches his invectives against the honest and ardent spirit
of book enterprise^ by which he was actuated > but calls upon his coun-
trymen to dose the doors of their public and private Ubraries against
the intrusive curiosity of the English ! He then foUows it up> by a
sneer of triumph — defying " any of the English Philologists^ now
livings to make use of an Editio Princeps with so much advantage
and acumen as their Beck^ Hermann, or Schneider !*'

I shall leave Messrs. Elmsley, Gaisford, Blomfield> and Monck,
to meet this charge ) and to unhorse the infotuated man who makes
it. My business more immediately concerns what follows. M,
Ebert has the absurdity to continue thus : ** Or, let us be told, what real
advantage has accrued to learning from the Spencer Library, which
has been extolled even to satiety — or the collections of other English
Bibliomanes } Not even so much as to enable the nation, otherwise
so mercantile and speculative, to produce a Manuel du Libraire of

But mixed as maybe my feelings, on a reflection of
this nature, they are, in another point of view, gratify-
ing and pure. I have done every thing in my power, to
establish, oh a firm foundation, the celebrity of a Li-
brary, of which the remembrance can only perish with
every other record of individual fame. I will say
nothing of the high and honourable character of its
Noble Owner, either in his public or private capacity ;

sible for the names of Colbert and Harlbv to be

would not want a rapid and prosperous sale.

But the indirect imputation upon that Liskabt, of which afuitbiul
account is now before the public, is as ungenerous as it is false. The
books of its Noble Owner, are open to the critical and cotistant inspec-
tion of any scholar, who comes (o his Lordship in that unquestionable
shape, in which alone, he can, and ought, to be admitted within the

who have enjoyed this privilege, are decisive proofs of the facility with

1. iEsopi Vita ET FABULiE : PER RiNuciuM. Lat.
Printed by Zarotus at Milan. 1474. Quarto.

Xhis is the second edition of the Latin version of Msop, and the
first from the press of Zarotus; of which Saxius appears to have been
ignorant. The second edition of Zarotus is particularly described in
the BihL Spencer, vol. i. p. 298-9^ where will be found the same metri-
cal colophon as appears in the present. I apprehend this to be a very
rare book. This copy contains a gratuitous ornament of a water
colour drawing of JSsop, of a somewhat ancient aspect — and not
divested of character — ^which precedes the first page of the Li/e. The
impression is entirely destitute of niunerals^ signatures, and catch-
words. A full page contains 27 lines, and the entire impression 50
leaves : of which the first 27 are devoted to the life of the author.
Beneath the verses^ above alluded to> is the colophon, thus :

With the exception of a few soiled leaves, this is not only a laige
but desirable copy. In red morocco binding.

2. iEsopus. Lat. & Ital. Printed at Nipples.
1485. Folio.

The editor was the celebrated Francisco del Tuppo. I have always
considered this book to be the most elegant specimen extant of the
early Neapolitan press. It abounds with wood-cuts 5 which however
are rather remarkable for the imposing consequence of the arabesque
frame-work, in which they are inclosed, than for the truth, beauty, or
spirit of the subjects within. The Duke di Cassano has given an ela-
borate account of this rare and elegant book^ by copying the whole of

4 THE CASSANO LIBRARY.

Tuppo's Introductory Addresa to Giulano, Count de Fundi. He tells
ua however, in the prefix to this transcriptioo, that Tuppo, a Juris-
consult, and Under-Secretary of State to Ferdinand King of Arragon,
applied himself, as did many other learned men of that time, to the
direction of the press — and especially of that of Reissioger. He then
mentions this impression— distinguished not less for the general ele-
gance and magnificence of its typographical execution, than for the
quantity and singularity of the wooii-cut embellishments, the elegance
of the version, and the quantity of historical notices interwoven in
the allegories.' The Duke passes no opinion respecting the praertt
hook being the performance of Riessinger's press, which I do not
imagine it to be ; for, at this moment, 1 cannot recollect any booh,
printed by Riessinger, which exhibits so elegant an aspect. It remains
to describe the copy under consideration.

On the recto of the first leaf, begins the address of Tuppo, con-
cluding on the reverse of the same leaf. A proheme, followed by a
Latin life of ^sop, follows on the recto of the ensuing leaf. The bio-
graphy, alternately Latin and Italian, interspersed with large coarse
wood-cuts, occupies 41 leaves exclusively of the first leaf. On the
recto of the 41st leaf is the Latin colophon, iu two lines of capital
letters. Then a blank leaf. Next commence the Fables — accompa-
nied by what are called Tropologia et Allegoria. The Grst page ex-
hibits a large, handsome, arabesque border, with a jet black back-
ground. The subjects of the fables are represented by wood-cuts,
within a more slender frame-work, having, at top, upon a black
ground, generally, the subject of Hercules and Antsus — or Samson
and the Lion. After the Moral or Allegory, comes sometimes on
' historical confirmation,' and sometimes a confirmation by way of
contemporaneous example — i.e., ' Conjirmatio Rremplaris/— consult
the apologues of the Wolf and the human bast, and the Pie and the
Peacocks; the latter of which, illustrated by the ' example" or anec-
dote of Marino de Marzano, son of I. A. de Marzano, Duke de Sessa,
is not a little amusing. On the reverse of the ISSnd leaf of the
Fables, the colophon is thus ;

A table, or list of the fables, occupies tlie recto of the following and
last leaf. In the whole, 166 leaves. This was the Crcvenna copy, and
was sold at the sale of that library for 396 francs. Its chief merit is
its size ; in colour, and in frequent and unaccountably capricious de-
lacing' of the lines, it had but secondary pretensions to a fine book
till restored and rebound in red morocco by C. Lewis, The Duke di
Cassano concludes his account of this book by warm eulogies upon
the credit it confers upon the early press at Naples. It has of late
become very uncommon.

3. ./Esopi FabuljE HistoriatjE. Lat. & Ital.
Without Date or Place, ^c. Quarto.

The present is doubtless one of the numerous reprints of ^sop,
with the Italian version of Zucchi, and is printed at florence, or Venice,
towards the end of the xvth century. For an account of the parent
impression of Zucchi's version, consult the Bibi. Spencer, vol. i. p.
228-237 i and for specimens of the style of art, with which some of
the wood-cuts in this edition are executed, the reader may not object
to turn over the leaves of the SibUogr. Decameron, vol i. p. 190-4.
The cuts, on the recto of sign. E. i, and on the reverse of F iii, will
be found at page 193 of the work last quoted. The central cotnpo-
aitionof the title-page is only similar to what is seen at p. 191. Here,
this cut is surrounded by an arabesque border. The signatures, A to
H, run in eights : H has 4 leaves, including a bkmk leaf. The
impression ends at line 30 of H iii rev. : having, beneath, the word
' Finis.' This is a fair sound copy ; recently bound in red morocco.

5. Albertus Magnus. De Virtutibus Her-
BARUM, Lapidum, &c. Printed by Antonio Gon-
teri, Naples. 1493. Quarto.

The editions of this work are innumerable ; and the present, of
trilling comparative value, finds a place in this library simply as a
specimen of the printer. This small book is printed in double co-
lumns, in the block letter, upon signatures a, b, and c : but it viij
appears to be wanting : b has viij leures, but c has only three printed
ones : having the colophon, in 4 lines, at bottom of c iij, reverse. In
recent calf binding.

6. Albertus Leo Baptista. De Re iEnipiCA-
TORiA. Printed by Nicolo Lorenzo. 1485. Folio.

An interesting prefatory address to Lorenzo de Medici, by Polltiaa,
commences the volume on the reverse of the first leaf. On signature
a i, recto, the text begins. The signatures to z, &, a, and jf, are io
eights : with the exception of e and p, — as the register, on the re-
verse of the lost leaf, indieates. The author died before the publica-
tion, and the work was produced (and patronised by Iiorenzo de
Medici), at the instigation of his brother Bernard. What is uncom-
mon, tu books of this period, there are catchwords on some of the
reverses of the leaves. The present is a sound, fair copy, in respect-
able old calf binding.

7. Alexandro Antonio (de) Lectura Codicis
JusTiNiANi. Printed by Riessinger. 1474.
Folio.

The Duke di Cassano, as might have been expected, treasured this
volume exceedingly, on account of the singularity of the subscriptioQ —
and liis friend, the Padre Sterzinger, favoured him with some remarks
thereupon — which confirmed the rarity and worth of the volume.
The text itself, necessarily, from the nature of the subject, is at pre-
sent of minor importance. The prefix, on the recto of the first leaf,
is thus : ' Reportata Clartssimi Vtrivsqve Juris Intcrpretis Domini

We must suppose this colophon to have been written by Tuppo. It

of Alexander the Great. Recently bound in yellow calf.

9. Altobellq e Re Traiano, &c. Printed by
P. Suardo, Milan. 1480. Folio.

This edition is not to be found in the list of those mentioned by
Rinzer in his fifth volume. It is among the rarer and more desir-
able early metrical volumes relating to tlie history of Chivalry — and
therein, as the colophon intimates, to tliu heroes Cfaarlemagae and
Orlando, &c. From Panzer it should seem to be the second edition ;
that of 1476, printed at Venice, being the first- On the recto of the
first leaf, sign, a j, in red. Is the following title :

The atanzas are in eight verses, and the text is printed in double co-

10. Ambrosii Liber Pastoralis^ Printed hy
Scinzenzeler, Milan. 1492. Small Folio.

The present is an elegant, and rather uncommon volume — being a
specimen of Scinzenzeler's press, cpo.v vellcm. It is printed in a
neat gotliic letter, in double columns, npon signatures, a to o, in
eights : with o and p in sixes, and q haiing only 4 leaves— q i being
omitted lo be marked : a palpable mistake, as the context proves.
The colophon, in 5 lines, is at the bottom of the 6rst column, on the
reverse of y iv— purporting the book to have been printed on the 16th
of June 1492. The device of Udal. Scinzenzeler Is below. The

Riking, at Naples. 1475. Folio.

It 19 for the Srat time that 1 here see a specimen of the printing of
Rihing, who appears to have been a native of Strasbourg, The compila- *
tor was of the order of the minorites ' de provintia Arrogonie.' The
impression in question is printed in two columns, without signatures,
catchwords or numerals, and contains 132 leaves, having 46 lines in
a full page. The colophon is on the reverse of the ISIst leaf, in 11
lines, purporting the book to have been esecutcU on the 7th of No-
vember 1475. The register occupies tlie last leaf. This book is so
rare as to have escaped GiuBtiniani and Panzer. The present is an
indifferent copy, in calf binding.

The colophon informs us that this work was executed ' at the ex-

phon is in 15 lines. There is no doubt of the printer being Heissinger.

by BartholoTneeus Cremonensis, Venice. 1473.
Quarto.

I take this to be a reprint of Layer's edition of a similar work, no-
ticed in a subsequent page. It requires a very brief description. It is
printed in a small, thin, roman type, in double columns, without nu-
merals, signatures, or catchwords. According to the ms. numerals of
this copy, the text contains 1S4 leaves. A table, of 8 pages, closes
the volume. The colophon, in metre, is on the recto of the last leaf,
as given in the same printer's edition of Virgil : see Bill. Spenc. vol.
ii, p. 469-470. Beneath is the date of 1473, noticing Nicolao Truno
to be the Doge of Venice at the time. In calf binding.

17. L'Aquila. Printed by A. de Canthono, Na-
ples. 1492. Folio.

The Duke di Cassano supposes both the work and this edition of it
lo be of extreme rarity. Fossi, however, in his Bill. Mogl. vol. i. col.
426, has a very particular account of it. He says the work was called
' the Eagle,' out of compliment to the descendants of the ikmily of
Julius CaxsiT. On examining it, I find large quotations from Dante ;
and in the first chapter, sign, a iii, the authority of tlie Thesaurus of
Bnmetlo Latino is iguoted — respecting the royal bird — ' Laquila e lo
pin ualcnte Vccello del Mondo. Et uoln. si alto che ogni homo ne
perde la uista.' Both Manni and Mozuchelli seem to think that this
work was first published by Alexander Faganinus, a printer, under the
foi^d name of Aretin — but, if so, adds Fossi, tlie present would
be a posterior edition — since it docs not contain the name of that
printer, and the name of Aretin is formally introduced — and yet I
do not remember to have seen any notice of a more ancient edition
than the present.' However this may be, adds the same bibliographer,
the work is pronounced by Mazzuchelli to be unworthy of Aretin, and
bis name, in all probability, ia falsely attached to it. It is an Italian
version, by the author himself, of the Latin original.

This, as Audiffredi intimates, was probably among the last of the
productions of the celebrated press of Swcynheym and Pannarlz—
both of whom, according to tlie same anthority, were probably taken
off, after the month of March, by a severe plague, which then raged
at Rome. The work is executed in the small and unseemly ronum
type of Pannartz — in double columns — a fiill page having 42 lines.

Without Name of Printer, Place, or Date.
Quarto.

The Duke di Cassano designates this as ' a very rare edition, un-
known to all the bibliographers ;' but Panzer, vol. iv. p. 86, refers to
X>enis, Bossi, and the Finelli catalogue — and Denis describes it from
a copy under his own inspection in the Imperial Library at Vienna.
It is printed in the same type as the dateless Horace and Lucan, of
which the former is considered to be the first impression of the poet.
This edition is entirely destitute of numertJs, signatures, and catch-
words ; a full page occupying 27 lioes. The first chapter contains
the prologue. The second chapter begins as follows ; ' De la engine
laquale commosse, Romani e Carthaginesi ad aspra e lunga guerra,'

The translator is Mathias Palmerius. The Duke di Cassano had
supposed, but inaccurately, (as Lord Spencer has justly observed)
that this was the first edition of the version of Aristeas ; but that
version was printed by Sweynheym and I^nnartz in their Latin Bible
of 1471. In the whole, there are 37 leaves, havmg 2S lines in a full

4th volume of his Typographical Annob. The Duke di Cassano was
not acquainted with the character in which it is printed, and imagmed
the book to have been executed about the year 1480. The type is a
large gothic ; and the lines, which are long, are widely spaced : giv-
ing the page a very elegant appearance. On the recto of a. i., without
a title, or prefix, the text begins thus : — the version being in al! pro-
bability that of Arotin.

{by Adam de Rotvif\ at Aquila. 1482. Quarto.

1 consider this lo be one of the very rarest poetical pieces in the
collection of the Duke di Cassano. The Duke himself dismisses it
with a very brief notice, but suspects, with great justice, the types to
be those of Adam de Rotvil. Ou a comparison with the Italian ver-
sion of Plutarch's Lives, printed by the same printer (vide post),
these types appear to be precisely similar. They are round and ele-
gant. The present piece is destitute of numerals, signatures, and
catchwords ; containing, in the whole, 7 leaves. A full page has 33
lines. On the recto of the first leaf, without any prefbt, it com-
mences thus ;

29. Barberiis^ p. de. Opuscula. Printed at

In the Bihl, Spenceriana, vol. iii. p. 173, 1 have described an edition of
this work as the production of the pre$$ of P. de Lignamine ; but, on
reconsideration, I am inclined to attribute the editonfup, rather than
the typographical execution, of these volumes, to the same character
-—who was doubtless among the most learned of his profession. The
copy, under consideration, in which the introductory address of I. P.
de Lignamine is wanting, was procured by me of Professor May, of
Augsbourg ; and contains a singular variety, both in the number and
. execution of the wood-cuts of the Sibyls. In short, there are sixteen
wood-cuts less than in the impression before mentioned, and of those,
common to either, the figures in the volume under description are
wholly different. They are here coloured ; but doubtless of the time.
Tliere does not appear to be any difference in the text, except in a few
contractions and terminations. The imprint and the register are pre-
cisely the same. The present may be called a very desirable copy ;
recently bound in pale russia.

30. Bartholus De Saxoferrato Super Codice
[Justiniano]. Prmted by Riessinger, at Naples.
1471. Folio, 2 vols.

In a bibliographical point of view, these are important volumes ; as
they seem to fix, with great precision, the date when Riessinger first
uaed his second-sized roraan type : and we may from hence infer, that
all those works, which are printed in the smnller 1)^16, resembling
that of Ulric Han, were of a date not later than 1470. Tliia in con-
sequence giies additional value to the pieces of Riessinger which
are printed in such smallest type. The present tj-pe, impartially speak-
ing, is neither beautiful in form nor agreeable to the eye ; being appa-
rently modelled upon the second size roman type of Ulric Han — who,
in all probability, was Riessinger's master. These volumes are with-
out numerals, signatures, or catchwords. On the recto of the Inst
leaf of the second volume, it ia as follows :

Edi/. Ital. p. 8, had been imperfect ; for thut bibliographer does not
notice some verses of Angelus FoDticulonus, which are on the reverse
of the first leaf — in praise of the work. The ' prologue' of the author,
Pico Fonticulanus de Aquila — addressed to Alfonso Picolomini, of
Arragon, Duke of Amalphi — commences on the recto of the ensuing
leaf, a ij. Tlie signatures, to f, run in eiglits : f and g have each six
leaves, including a blank leaf for g. On the recto of g v, is the
colophon, in 1 1 lines, of which the three lost are as follow :

Audiffredi has thrown out a conjecture, that this book may have
been printed by Adam de Rolvil — inclining however to the opinion
that it is not. It is quite certain that the types of this book are
smaller than those used by that printer in the Quativnei Mercwr'uileg,
described in vol. ii. page '244, of the Jedes Atthorpiamr ; although

33. Blondi Roma Instaurata. Without Name
of Printer, Place, or Date. Folio.

Panzer, vol. iv. p, 413, no. 156, is exclusively indebted to Fossi,
vol. i. col- 368-373, for his account of this rare book i of which the
present copy is unfortunately very defective — wanting not fewer than
ten leai-es at the end of the third book ; which deficiency compre-
hends the epistle of P. Barbaras to the author, following the same
book. Fossi wrote a dissertation upon this impression, in the Ephem.
lAtt. Horent. iii kal. Novemb. 1789 ; because, up to that period, it
seemed to have been wholly unknown to bibliographers — and in the
BUil. Magliabeck. (here first referred to), he translated the communi-
cation in the Italian Literary Journal into the Latin language. His
description of the copy, under his own inspection, is, as usual, copious
and correct. ' Littera; (says he, speaking of the type in which it is
executed,) quamvis, ut dictum eat, elegantes adpureant antiquam
inaequalitatem quodammodo pne se ferunt.' He then notices the
uniform absence of the dot over the t, and the commas being Una, at
right angles with the text. The e is peculiar, being somewhat of a '
gothic form.

The first leaf appears to be blank. An index to the first book of
the work occupies the second leaf. On the recto of the third, the
text begins. A fiill page has 36 lines. The index to the second book
occupies two leaves : to the third book, two pages and a half. The
third book is defective ; ending on the reverse of the 52nd leaf of the
impression. It should have been followed by the subscription Bhndt
/IdCii Farlivicruu Rome Inataurate Liber . Ill . Et Vllimus foUdler Cla-
vititus — and an Epistle of F. Barbarua to the author. This copy then
continues correctly — with two epigrams prefixed to an Epistle of
Blondus Flavins to Aretin ' de Romana locutione :' occupying in the
whole 4 leaves. At the end of the last of these leaves, we read
: VALE : The present is, in other respects, a large and sound copy :

34. Boccaccio. Opera Jucundissima. Without
Name of Printer, ^c. Quarto.

' Opera Ivcvndissima Novamcnte lUtrovata del Facundissimo et
Elegantissimo Poeta meser louone Bocchacio.' — Such is the title pre-
fixed to this rare little piece ; which seems to contain a brief selec-
tion from the Decameron of Boccaccio. It appears to have been
printed at Florence; and the type, at first sight, is not unlike that of
Plato de Bcncdictis. Beneath the title, the text begins thus : — ■' uno
giorno ritrouandouie piu che lusato da grauissime e innumerabili pene
asaalito.' This, on sign. A ii. The signatures, to H, run in sixes :
but A iii, or A iiij, appears to be wanting in this copy. On the recto

35. Boccaccio. Il Philocolo. Printed by Ri-
esstnger, at Naples. 1478. Folio.

I apprehend the present to be among the rarer editions of the Phi-
locolo, as well as of the productions of the press of Riessinger. It is
among the very few publications of Riessinger's press which contain
wood-cuts ; but which, candour obliges us to confess, are almost as
barbarous as those of our first printer, Caxton. Above a, wood-cut of
the author sitting at a desk, and a queen sitting on a bench to the tell
of him, is the title, thus : in four lines. ' Incomencla U libra prima di
Jlorio & di biamejiure chiamato philocolo che lanlo e adire quanlo anwrma
falicha, CDpottoper it claritiimo poeta Meuer lohanne BocQacio da cerlaldo

cUto Re Roberto.' I presume the female crowned figure, sitting, to be
the lady just mentioned in the title. The heads of chapters are uni-
formly printed in gothic letter, The text is in roman ; in the second
size type of the printer. A full page has 40 lines. There are neither
niunerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the reverse of the 236th
leaf, where the Italian biography (by Hieronimo Squarzafacio) ends,
is the following elaborated colophon — beneath four Latin verses,
being the epitaph of Boccaccio.

37. Breviarium Romanum. Printed by Nicolaus
Girardengus {at Venice). 1490. Octavo.

This is one of the most beautiful octavo volumes in his Lordship's
collection. It ia a cop^ itpon vblldii ; exhibiting such a specimen of
typogmphy as cannot be surpassed. The vellum is also of a soft quality
and white tint, and the various illuminatiuns are as ^nuine as they
are elegant. Unfortunately, the whole of the signature ee (S leaves)
is executed with the pen — but in a manner to have escaped the detec-
tion of the last noble owner of the book — who dismisses it with the
brief and pithy description of being ' a very line copy upon vellum.'
It seems, from Panzer's list, vol. v. p. 114, that, among the number-
less impressions of this celebrated work, there was a previous edition,
by the same printer, of the dale of 1482, in folio j but no notice ia
there taken of the present impression. The first leaf ia blank. A ca-
lendar of G leaves follows. Then another blank leaf. The text of the
work commences on the recto of the ensuing leaf, on signature a a,
here illuminated, with a portrait of our Saviour at hottom. The sig-
natures (generally having only the third leaf marked) run regularly
''^ ? ?• fi' ■> ''> i° eights ; with the exception of the last, which has
ten leaves.

Then a fresh portion of the work, on signatures A to H, in eights :
the first leaf here beautifully illuminated, with a figure of our Saviour,
naked to the middle, in the water — the blood flowing from his side.
A third portion begins on A to U, in eights : a blank leaf forming the
last of U. The first leaf (A i) is here illuminated with a head of a
bishop, radiated, having a crosier over his left shoulder. The fourth
and lost portion, beginning with an illumination of the Agnus Dei,
extends from a to /, in eights : f having twelve leaves, including a
blank one. On the reverse of/xj, is the colophon, printed in red, in
eleven lines, thus : Explicit breuiariH correctfi et optane emendaluj per

38. Bonus Iacobus. De Raptu Cerberi. With-
out Name of Printer, ^c. Quarto.

The author appears to have escaped Panzer. A poetical address to
Oliverio Caraffa, a Neapolitan Cardinal, is on the reverse of the first
leaf. The text begins on the recto of tlie second leaf, sign, a (i) —
the first leaf, oddly enough, not being noticed — thus :

work is Matthteus Bossus. The title is on the recto of the first leaf,
sign, t, A preliminary address and table occupy the first six leaves,
on the same signature. Then a leaf, n-ith a pithy Epistle of P. Bero-
aldus to the reader. On the following leaf, a ii, is an Epistle of the
author to Cardinal John Medici — in which the respective talents of
Politlan, I, Mirandula, and Ficinus, are appreciated — which is dated
' £x Abbalia Fesulana,' 1482. Then the text, on a iii, preceded by a
title, in four lines, of capital letters. The first set of signatures, to h,
run in eights ; followed by h with six, and i with four leaves. Then a
fresh set of signatures, A to O, inclusively, in eights. On the recto

40. BuRCHiELLO . Li SoNETTi. Printed by M.
C. A. Pi-utentts. Without Date. Quarto.

1 am fiiUy of opinion with Morelli (Bibl. Pinell. vol. iv. p. 316,) that
this is the first edition of the Sonnets of Burchiello, and that its
date may be as early as liTi. Morelli compares the types with those
of an edition of the Epistles and Gospels by the same printer (also in
this Library) of 1472, and hence draws his conclusion. But in this
copy, the types have even a sharper and newer look than in the book
last mentioned. At any rate, it cannot be doubted that the present is
the parent text of all the subsequent ones of the poet. There are
no numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of the first
leaf, the first sonnet begins under Bve lines of capital letter. This
first page has 17 lines of text : tfae fuller pages have 23 lines. On
the reverse of the first leaf there is a running title, thus. .' Son : De .
B.'— which is not continued. In the whole, 92 leaves, On the re-
verse of the 92d is a sonnet — commencing ' Rigido Bertramino sco-
^oscente' — which, says Morelli, is not to be found in the edition of
1757. The colophon below this sonnet, is thus :

M. xpof, Ar. prutenus . Fioit . B.

which I take to mean, ' Mathias, Christophorus, Amoldua Prutenus .
Finit Burchiello.' It is extraordinary that the Pinelli copy does not
^pear to have been sold at the sale. This copy is very much cropt,
but aotind. Recently boimd in red morocco.

Panzer refers to Maittaire, Clement, and Affo, for an account of
this edition. It is not therefore ' unknown' — as the Duke di Caseano
intimates. It is certainly, however, a very rare book : printed on
signatures a, b, c, in eights; a i being blank. A full page has S7
lines. The prefix is thus :

The colophon, in four lines, of a roman character much smaller
than that of the text, is at the bottom of the recto of the last leaf.
On the reverse, ' Epitaphium Romae in lapide' — in hexameter and
pentameter verses. The device of the printer, as noticed in the ac-
count of his edition of Claudian, of the date of 1493, in the Aif.

43. Capitula, et Constitutiones Regni Si-
cin^, &c. Printed by Andreas de Bruges, at

Perhaps tbis is one of the most curious and uncommon books in
the CissANO Collection ; and gtiins in intrinsic value what it loses
in externa] benuty: for a more barbarously printed volume hns seldom
appeared in the Jtvth ecntury. The type ia gotbic — executed in long
lines — and seems to be formed upon the worst models of Keteluer ood
Fyuer. The book is so scarce as to have escaped the researches of
Panzer; who, in his account of it, refers to Maittaire — and who, in
tum,depends exclusively upon Moagilor' sBibl.Sicula. The ornamented
capital initials, in wood, are sufficiently barborons. The first leaf is
blank. The address of the author of this Collection of Laws, 1. P.
Afulus, of Messina — ' cunctis Trinacrie magnificis Jureconsultis ; ac
sacrorum legum Studiosis' — commences on a ii. The Constitutions
begin on a Hi. The signatures, to g, run in eights ; ^ to ^, in sixes :

the Duke's library, printed by A. de Bruxella, which can boast altnott
of its pristine beauty of condition. According to the Duke's catalogue,
it contains 90? leaves. There are neither signatures, numerals, nor

45. Carazolus. De Laudibus Sanctorum.
Printed by Moravus, at Naples. 1489. Quarto.

The last noble owner of this volume has thought it worth while to
tnuBcribe the introductory epistle to ' Beatrice, Queen of ArrBgonj
Hungary, and Bohemia' — which is not uninteresting, and indicates
the impresssion to have been executed by the joint labours of I. M.
Cynicus, Moravus, and P. MoUnus. Moravus is called (with justice)
* an elegant aud erudite printer' — and the impression should seem to
consist of 2000 copies — as thus : ' Decreui cum prsstanti tuo Moravo
immo nostro & Petro : hoc toti orbi in tui laudem communem facere.
et bis mille uoluminibus impreseis.' It concludes thus : ' Vale . Cy-
nici tui : & Moraui : necnon & Petri memor.' This preface is in a
large raman letter : the whole of the work, however, is printed in
double columns, in a small, close, gothic ; of a sufficiently broad form,
and more legible than the type of the Bible, by the same printer, of
the date of 1476. The present is indeed not unlike that of F. de Gn-
qumit, in the impression of Aug. de Ancona de Ecclesiaslica Poleslate,
1479. 4to. — but it is a little taller. The introductory preface and table
occupy 6 leaves. The text is printed upon signatures a to i, in
eights : then A, B, in eights : C, six : and D, four. The colophon,
on the recto of D iiij, is thus : ' CeUherrimum opus de laudiimt tancto-

curious things' — but which cunoua things I suppose to be repeated
in subsequent editions. The copy seen by De Bure, was imperfect ;
having the first leaf supplied by the pen. The present copy has also
one (fol. 74) defective leaf; but that in the Imperial Library at Vi-
enna (to the best of my recollection) has no such deficiency — altliough
it is described in my Tour as containing only 158 leaves : see vol. iii.

I take this to be the secokd edition of the Legend of the Miracles
of St. Catharine of Siena ; and, us it appears to have been wholly un-
known to Panzer, is probably as rare as the first. The Duke di Cas-
sano states it to be wholly unknown to bibliographers. On compar-
ing the text with that of the previous edition, it will be found to be
fcr from a reprint. This impression is executed in double columns,
in a round and not inelegant roman type, and has 41 lines in a full
column. There are neither numerals, signatures nor catchwords.

As far as 1 can discover. Panzer appeam to have been ignorant of
this version of Cato in the Italian language. That bibliographer no-
tices a Dutch, French, and German edition — but none in the ItaUan
tongue. The Duke di Cassnno considers this version as utterly un-
known to bibliographers ; and supposes the printer may have been
Schurener de Bopardia ; in which supposition I find him confirmed—
by a compnrison of the types with those of Mnea Sylvii EpittoJte of
1475, professedly printed by that artist, and of which a fine copy is
preserved in his Lordship's library, from the public library at Atigi
bourg. This raj-e little book commences thus :

is 1472. The colophon follows below, in three lines of capital letters.

Denis, p. 243, no. 1933 — where it is described in the usually com-
pressed manner of that bibliographer. The popularity of the work, to-
gether with the commodious neas of the form, and beauty of the impres-
sion, may account for the rarity of the present volume. The text of
the author is in roman, and that of the commentator in gothic. The
latter styles himself ' monachua Clarevalli-i,' and dedicates his labours
to Petrus de SaluciJa, 'a youth of an excellent and generous disposition."
The signatures, a to e, run in eights ; a i being blank. On the recto

First impression of the Commentary of Lacisius. The signatures,

designation of the signatures is in the Italian language ; while the
colophon, aa well oa the entire book, is in Latin. On the recto of
a vij is this colophon : ' Brixue Impressum per Boninum de BmiinU de
Ragusia . M . CCCC . Lxxxv . eiii . Idui Apriles.' On the reverse, is an
oddreas of Antoaius Parthenius to the reader. A blank leaf, a viij,

A table of the contents is on the reverse of the iirst leaf. The text
begins with the above prefix^ on the recto of (he following. The
text is in a clumsy, and closely printed roman type — which, at first
glance, resembles somewhat those volumes of which the printer is
known by the peculiar construction of the capital R : but in the vo-
Imne under description, no such peculiarity occurs. ^Vhat, to me, is
very uncommon, the printer has introduced larger lower case roman
characters, in the body of the pnge, than the generality of the text ia
executed with. The Duke di Caasano ia right in differing from Audif-
fredi respecting the appropriation of the type to the press of Ulric
Has. A full page has 8S lines. There are neither numerab, signa-
tures, nor catchwords. In the whole, 48 leaves — including a register
on the 4Sth. A very indifferent copy, in foreign calf binding.

55. CicERONis Epistol^ Fam. QuiED. Select.
{^Printed by Riessinger.) Without Gate, ^c.
Quarto.

There can be no question that lUessinger printed this little volume,
which appears to have escaped the researches of Panzer. It is exe-
cuted precisely in the type with which the Phalarii (vide post) is
printed, and to which latter his name is expressly subjoined, The
type is the second roman, and sufEcieotly barbarous : which makes
me infer that Moravus hud not, at this time, put forth any specimen
from his own press — otherwise, it is barely possible to suppose that
Riessinger would have chosen such an indifferent character. An
epiatle of Petrus Bartolacius to Alvarus de Cosma precedes the text.
This is dated ' Napk), 1471,' from which the Duke di Cassano thinks
the book was printed in the same year ; an inference, by no means
unquestionable. 1 suspect Riessinger to have been a careless printer.
His contractions are doubtful : and we have ' ex queaita' for ' ex-
qnisita,' at the end of the epistolary address — and the words ' Marcus'
and Marchus, as applied to Cicero, immediately following each other.

56. Cicero DE Officiis. Printed by V. de Spira.
1472. Quarto.

This is in all probability a rcimpression of the previous edition, with
the same accompanying opuaculu, which appeared in 1470, and of
which a particular account will be found in the Bibl. Spencer, vol. i.
p. 312. Tlie text commences with the OtSces, which end with the
verses beginning ' TulUus hesperios,' &c. on the reverse of the 77th
leaf. The Paradoxei follow ; occupying the 10 ensuing leaves. Next,
the tract De Jnudlia, concluding on the recto of the 107th leaf. The
' Cato Major,' uel de Senechite,' follows on the recto of the ensuing
leaf; concluding with the Sonmium Scipiotiit on the recto of the ISlsl
leaf: where is the following colophon :

Rather an indifferent copy, in foreign calf binding.

57. Cicero de Officiis : &c. Printed at Na-

At first sight, the Duke di Cassano thought the types, with which
tlua impression is executed, were those used by Moraniu -, but on com-
parison, he changed that opinion. He afterwards thought the book
was printed by Connul Guldenmund of Nuremberg; but again
changed his opinion ; and on a yet more careful comparison, was aet-
tled in the belief that the impression was executed by Franciscns de
Dino, a Florentine ; from a performance of the latter, executed at
Naples in 1480, and another at Florence, in 1491. H« caUs the

not the former- II is however the only Imok noticed by Panzer in~
the year 1479, at Naples -, and he refers to Denis, p. 103, where it
is very unsatisfactorily described.

The Life, &c. of Cicero, occupies the first 3 leaves. The Offices,
59 leaves. The Paradoxes, 7 leaves : the Dc Amicitia beginning on
the reverse of the seventh. This latter treatise contains S9 leaves —
followed by the Somnium Scipionis, on 4 leaves : on the reverse of
the 4th of which begin the sayings of the twelve wise men. These
fill one more leaf; on the reverse of which is the following colophon :

It is a pity that the condition of this book ia not equal to its dimen-

every respect; and nothing, one woidd imagine, but the ex.treme
rarity of the impression could have induced its late noble owner to
give it a place upon the shelves of his library. It is printed upon

a beautiful copy of a very scarce little edition — which Panzer colls
' hitherto unknown,' and for an account of which he refers esclueively
to Fossi, vol. i. col. 555, where it is described with the usual accuracy
of that author. Foasi adds, ' the rarity of this edition ia readily as-
certained from the silence of bibliographers respecting it.' It is exe-
cuted in rather a handsome small gothic letter, upon signatures a,
b, e, d, the first having G, the second and third 4, and the fourth
5 leaves. A blank one forming tlie signatures. A fiill page has 32

Parma, in 1493. See Bibl. Spencer, vol. ii. p. 4. The title, with a
short address on the reverse, occupy sign, a i ; the text regularly fol-
lows on a u, in eiglits, aa far as q : on the recto of the last leaf of

that the book before me is a very inferior specimen of the printer's

62. CoNsuETUDiNES Neapolitanje. {Printed
by Riessinger.) 1482. Folio,

The printer is doubtless Sixtus Riess&^r 5 as the Duke di Cassano
intimates. The editor was Francesco Tuppo, and the work appears
to have been executed by N. F. Cicinus — to whom Tuppo, at the end
of the volume, addresses a sort of dedicatory letlM*— ^ving some ac-
count of his fiEunily, which is by no means uninteresting. The laws
and customs of the city of Naples, here collected together, are said,
on the reverse of the first leaf, to be gathered ' ex oonsuetudinibus
antiquis non in formam scripturs redactis.' The printing exhibits a
specimen of Riessinger* s roman type, mixed with his largest gotliic.
The work is executed in double columns. This copy has a nu. taJtU
prefixed, which the Buke di Cassano thought might be coeval, and
perhapi printed in other copies; but I doubt the latter conclusion.
According to the same authority, this book contains 199 leaves } each
fuU coliunn having 43 lines. .The colophon, which is as follow0> is
on the reverse of the last leaf but two : ' Uuius Sebastian! glose «(

63. CoNSUETUDiNES Felicis Urbis Panhorui.
Printed by Preller, Naples. 1496. Quarto.

This is the first edition of the Municipal Laws of the City of Pa-
lermo. The Duke di Cassono rightly calla it ' a rare aiid beautifiiUy
printed book" — in a large gothic type— very similar, on first view, to
the earlier printed books in Spain. The same authority supposes, also
very correctly, that these laws were first made known to the public,
through the NeapoUlan press, in consequence of the want of a press at
Palermo. It is true that Panzer (vol. ii. p. 245), upon the authority
of Maittaire — and this latter, again, upon that of Mongitor't Bibl. Sie,
vol. i. p. 355, — notices a work, of the date of 1477, as having issued
from the Palermo press : but this is not to be relied upon — for why
should no other book have issued ftom the same press in the xvth
century ? The Padre Sterzinger, a bibbographicol friend of the I>uke
dt CassanOj has been led astray by the sanie authorities — but observes
the Duke — ' after the strictest search and enquiries, both in public
and private libraries, I have not been able to find ajiy book printed
either by Andreas de Wormacia (tlie supposed printer of the supposed
book of 1477)> or any other printer, at Palermo, in the xvtb century.'

It remains briefly to describe the volume in question. On the recto
of the first leaf, above a wood-cut of the arms of the city of Palermo,
is the title, above given,. The reverse is blank. On the recto of the
ensuing leaf, a ij, conunences the table—ending on the recto of the
third ensuing leaf, or a iij. Then, on b i, recto, the text of the Laws
in question. The signatures, to f, run in eights : f having seven

1475 and 1478 are equally stippoaititioua. In oonsequence, this little
volume, treating of the gallant exploits of the Venetian commander
in question — who was among tlie moat celebrated characters of his
day — is not without considerable intrinsic value. It is executed in
the usually elegant style of printing, visible in the associated produc-
tions of Bernard Pictor, Erhard Ratdolt, and Peter Loslein de Lan-
gencen. The liiguatures, from a to g, including a blank leaf for a,
run in eights : g has five printed leaves, and a blank leaf. The colo-
phon and date (M CCCC LXXVII) occupy five Lnes. The present isj
upon the whole, a desirable copy ; although, from the omamented
border of the first page, there is but too decisive evidence of its having
been much cut down. In foreign brown calf binding.

65. CoRNAZANo. De Fide et Vita Christi.

Quarto.

This very rare metrical tract has been briefly but accurately de-
scribed by De Bure, vol, iii. no. 2S77, Laire, i. p. 271-3, and Bninet,
vol. i. p. 359, edit. 1814 : except that the former intimates that the
composition is partly Italian and partly Latin — wherens it is wholly
Italian ; with the exception presently to be mentioned : and the latter
infers that the printer was Jemon, which is certainly erroneous — as an
examinatiun of the lower-case m and h will alone prove to the con-
trary. It has however very much the appearance of a book printed
at Fenice ; a conjecture, which may be supjioaed to be confirmed by
the six pages of hexameter Latin verses at the end, in praise of that
city. The present copy unfortunately wants two leaves out of the six,
of the table, with whicli the impression commences. On the ensuing
leaf, or first of the text, beneath six lines of a capital-letter prefix,
the poem commences, thus :

Ercbe iu questa mortale e fragU uitu

Nato nel pecto me* nouo furore
&c. &c. &c.

A full page has 27 lines. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor
catchwords. On Uie reverse of the 60th leaf, from the commenee-
ment of the text, the pccui ends thus :

Then follows the Latin poem, above mentioned, beginning thua :

I have looked in vain, in this poem, for any mention of the succesa^l

AudifFredi, Edit. Rom. p. 918, is particular ia hia account of this edi-
tion — castigating, as usual, the defective description of it by Loire in
hb Spec. Rom. Edit. An Address of Aloisins Tuscanus to P. Cardinal
Teraaonensis occupies the reverse of the first leaf. A table of two
leaves follows ; which, from AudiSrcdi's statement, appears to be de-
fective : another leaf being wanted. The text follows, here elegantly
decoruted by a coeval illumination. On the reverse of the last leaf
but one, is the colophon, in ten lines, as given by Audiffredi. A regis-
ter of one leaf ensues. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor
catchwords : a fiill column containing 50 lines. In a bibliographical
poLat of view, this volume is desirable-^as containing the name of
George Lover of fVurtzbuTg, which rarely occurs, and as exhibiting a
variety of his types — it being a different fount to that which spears
in the Quintu) Curtius and other early books by the same printer. This
copy has been recently and handsomely bound in russia.

74. DURANDDS. RATIONAtE DiVINORUM OfFI-

Folio.

This is one of the almost innumerable editions of the present work.
It should seem that there was hardly a printer in Europe who did not
conceive himself in duty bound, as it were, to bring forth an impres-
i^n of this celebrated performance. Il was not therefore likely to
have escaped the press of so eminent a printer as Moravus. There
is nothing remarkable in the printing of the volume, except that it
is executed in the large gothic type of Moravus, which has not the
elegance of the smaller. With the exception of the first leaf of a
table (which seems as if it should have been preceded by others), this
volume contains 344 leaves : the colophon, in nine lines, being at the
bottom of the second column. The present is on indiSerent copy,

columns, without atimerols, signatures, or catchwords. A full page
contuns 45 lines. In the whole, 109 leaves. On the reverse of the

ritio rfni egidij de roma super rluobia libra de generatiae atvtolelU luma cu

joined. The printer styles iiimself thus r ' Inipretivia Rome per incliti

in double columns, without numemls, signatures, and catchwords.
A short introductory address, and table of chapters, occupy the first
four leaves. The work begins on the recto of the 5th, ending on
the recto of tlie 134th leaf — with the colophon and register. The
present is an indifferent copy, in calf binding.

77. Elysius, I. B. De Philosopiiia Naturali.
Without Name of Printer, Place, or Date.

In a very small gothic type, and unquestionably the production of
the press of Moraeui. The Duke di Cassano has justly supposed it
to be eseculcd by that printer. The work is dedicated to Andreas
Matheus Aquarinis, of Arragon, 'a knight, {says the Duke di C.)
celebrated for his valour, knowledge, and learning.' The work of
Elysius terminates on the recto of c vj : a having 6, and b eight leaves

78. EpistoljE iLLUSTRiuia ViRORUM. Printed

The colophon of this edition is somewhat singular : ' J/oc opiii dili-

bmaiias . In qfficina NtcoUa Vuolf: hulrien . Eiitujj cartAarum conerionet

these epistles, those of Politian occupy the greater part of the volume.
It is doubtless an interesting collection- Among them I find one, from
Pico of Mirandula, noticing the pleasures of which he had recently
partaken, at Florence, in the society of Politian, who, ' in his opinion,
is the most learned man of his age.' It is the CLXl Letter. The
present indifferent copy has been recently bound in calf.

79. Ferdinandi Vita & Laudes. {Printed by
I. P. de Lignamine.) 1472. Quarto.

Although no name of printer be subjoined, it is quite clear that thi<
book was printed by I. P. de Lignamine— even were not his name,
as the avowed author of the composition, prefixed to the first page.
It is painAd to think that so excelleot a scholar as this printer — whom
Andiffredi loses no opportunity of praising — should be among the
most careless and inaccurate of his profession ; for at the end of the
colophon, on the recto of the 23d and last leaf, the book is said to
have been executed in 1462, ' the first year of the pontificate of Pope
Sixtua IV.' — whereas that event occurred in 147A. It is therefore
antedated 10 years. On the recto of the last leaf but one, the printer
speaka with great self- commendation of his generous and liberal spi-
rit in the execution of his business — that he prints for honour, and
not for lucre — and mentions his execution of the treatise ' De San-
gtme Chrwti,' by that Pontiff, with the same motive. There are nei-
ther signatures, niuoemls, nor catchwords. The present is a sound
copy, in calf binding.

84. Gafori, Francisci, Theoricum opus Mu-
siCE DISCIPLINE. Prtuled by Franciscus di
Ditto, Naples. 1480. Quarto.

The Duke di Cassano htis taken great pains in the description of
this uncommon book, which he calls ' the first editioa and of extreme
rarity.' According ta Laire, vol. i. p. 38, no. 38, Maittaire has badly
described it ; but Mercier, in bis Supplement to Marchand, p. 97. has
been comparatively copious and particular. Panier, vol. ii. p. 146,
no. 41, does not appear to have ever seen it ( for he quotes the words
' Theor'icam oput Armmicx DitcipUiuE, with a qusre whether they may
not imply the same work : whereas, the truth is, these very words are
printed in the colophon of this impression. The book contains three
or four wood-cut.s ; of which the first, on the recto of the 17th leaf,
represents six men beating an anvil with sledge hanimers, according
to time : the numerals over the hammers are too obscure to be distin-
guished with accuracy, but the four last run in this order ; viii . *inj ,
XII . XVI . The text appears to explain it. The Duke di CaAsano
calls this ' a fine wood-cut' — but qualilies bis praise by adding, ' I say
'fine' — with reference to the period of its execution.' It is in fact
sufficiently rude, but curious. The other cuts are chieHy diagrams,
with an exception towards the end — which represents a man sitting
and playing upon an instrument like an organ : which cut I remember
to have seen in some other early publication.

The impression begins on the reverse of the first leaf, with two
pages of table. On the reverse of the second leaf, the dedicatory
address of the author to I. Arciniboldua begins, and ends on the re-
verse of the fourth leaf. Neit commences the text, ' De Effec&au
& Commendatione Musice Capitulum Pritimm' A full page has 36 lines.
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. In the
whole, including a leaf of register, which follows the colophon in 7
lines, there are 14 leaves. In the colophon, the printer is de.slgnated
as a Florentine, Tlic author's concluding address is in verse, termi-
nating thus :

I suspect, for 14*7 — since the book was printed six years before. The
colophon, in eight lines, is thus : ' Quata pretente opera : e ilata in-

Latin tongue. Tlie colophon is on the recto of i uij, in sixes. A plen-

Having entered so fiiUy into the uceount of this extrnorthnary his-

to observe, that the present impression, with the exception of the prefix,
(which is here in three lines— purporting to be an address of I. M.
Tuberinus to the Hector and Senate of the people of Brescia) and
conclusion, ia precisely a copy of the edition of Guldinbeck (above
described), which was executed in March 14*5, the present appean'ng
to Iw in April in the same year. The difference in the conclusion
consists of an addition of two lines, informing us that the Jews, be-
sides being ' imprisoned and chained,' were, some of them, hung up
by the feet between two malefactors ; others stabbed, and others
burnt.' The colophon consists of eight hexameter and pentameter
verses, preceded by the word ' Miraculum,' and fbUowed by FINIS

91. HoEATii Opera Omnia. Printed by Amoh-
dus de Bruxella, at Naples. 1474. Quarto.

This book is, beyond all doubt, the rarest classical volume in the
world. No other copy of it is known ; a circumstance which, how-
ever extraordinary, is nevertheless true. Panzer, vol. ii. p. 155, no.
1 1, says only thus of it : '£ditio rarissima , a CI. Morellio visa, nemini
ex prscipuis bibLographis dicta.' He gives however the colophon, at
the end of the Odes, from the information of Morelli. Santander bor*
rows this colophon, and merely remarks : ' Edition infiniment rare
et peu connue.' Diet. Bibliog. Cha'a. vol. ii. p. S6. 'Ediziune (says
the Duke di Cassano,) celebrata par la esimia di lei rarit^, cseguits

di Cassano refers to the EpiMlUf attd Odea only, printed at Ferrara^—
and the entire works at Milan — each in 1474 ; the latter, with the
commentary of Aero. Uf these editions, a copious description is given
in the BAl. Spenc. vol. ii. p. 69-77 ; hut the commentary of Forphyrio

meot, luul of the readings, of the text of this uniqub voldhk, it ti
not be irrelevaat to remark, thttt the Rev. Mr. Babington has com'
pleted Ik careful coUalion of it with the following early editions in this
Libnuy : namely, the Ferrara of H74, Zarohti 1474, Lavagrta 1476,
P. C. Petri 1479. L. de Strazarotu 1481, Landiniu 1482, Pkilomuiu*
1490, ManaaeUiu 1495, and Locheiiu 1498 ; besides the reputed Editio
Prmcept in 4tO, without date, and those of Guldinbeck and Lamagna
without dates ; the latter considered as the second edition in the Biht.
Spencer, vol. ii. p. 66 : and the result has been, that Mr. Babington has
established (in his own judgment) that ' this edition is copied from
the 4to. Editio Princeps, corrected however with conaiderable care,
and from MSS. of no mean authority.'

In this edition, by A. de Bruxella, there is no preface, so that it ia
not possible to know exactly who was the Editob. If Riessinger had
been the printer, we should have had little hesitation in assigning that
ufiice to Tuppa, who was at any rate a skilfiil jurisconsult, if not an
accomplished classical scholar.

The present copy begins with the first ode to Mecenas : which,
from the preBx alone, may be considered decisive that the Ne^nlitan
impression is not a mere reprint of its precursors.

entirely filled the margins with ms, anootations — apparently of the

rated by its late owner by means of pure water i so thatj with the

95. Jacopone da Todi. Cantici e Laude. Prin-
ted by Francesco Bonacorsi, at Florence. 1490.
Quarto.

' EniTio PsiNCEPs & Rarissiha.' Such is the emphatic designation
of this impression in Laire's Index Libror. vol. ii. p. 167. Denis, p.
38S, no. 2338, refers to Capponi, p. 212, Foiitanini, vol. ii. p. 4, and
Gaignat, p. 502 ; besides the Cat. de la VaUiere, vol ii. p. 494. These
authorities, however, are sufficiently meagre — especially the last. On
the recto of the first leaf is the following title : ' Lavde Di Frate
lacopone ila Todi' — in capital letters. The proheme commences on
the back of this title, and terminates on tlie recto of the following
leaf, A ii. The copy noticed by Laire wanted one leaf of this pro-
heme. A table, in two columns, commences on the reverse of A ii—
and concludes, in long lines, on A iiii. v, vi, vij. Then a leaf, of which
the reverse presents us with a wood-cut, in outline, of which the upper
part of the subject displays the virgin, irradiated, and seated upon
clouds, ivith three cherubim at the lower part, and four angels
above : the whole in very good taste, and worthy of Florentine art
of this period. Below is the s^nt, praying, before a desk : his head
and hands are too large. On the recto of the ensuing leaf, a i, the
test commences thus :

This scarce little metricul tract, in eight line stanzas, appears to
have escaped Panzer. The copy under description commences on the
recto of a <{ ; but whether it had not a preceding leaf, a i, may he
doubted ; or, if so, such preceding leaf may be blank. The title, be-
neath a rude wood-cut — of Fortune appearing to a man sitting down,
with another man about to enter a wood to the left — is thus : ' Qui

edition is printed in double columns, in the black letter, with five
stanzas lo the fuU column. The first signature has seven printed

This little Italian tract, which I presmne to be one of the many
Italian versions of the above subject, appears to have escaped Pan-
zer ; see his Typog, Annal. vol, v. p. 259. It consists of 35 leaves,
without numerals, signatures, or catchwords ; having 28 lines in a
fiill page. On the recto of the last leaf, after the word ' ystoria.,'
is FINIS — which, with the previous word, forms the whole line. Re-

98. luSTUS DE COMITIBUS. La Bella Mano.
Printed by Scipio Ma^iglius, at Bologna.
1472. Folio.

Notwithstooding there were copies of this book in the Crerenna,
PineUi, and Brienne collections, yet is it a very uncommon volume ;
and most important, in a bibliographical point of view, as it respects
the history of early printing at Bologna. Auditfredi {Edit. Hat.
p. 14,) is copious and interesting. He says that Orlandi and Mait-
taire were ignorant of the Bologneae printer by whom this work was
executed ; nor has he himself seen any other production of his press —
unless indeed the ' Reguls cum Glossis, super carmioa differentialta,'
of Guurinus (in which mention is made of one ' Scipio' — his sumame
being suppressed,) be considered as another production of the same
printer. Audiffredi's description of the contents of the volume is ne-
cessarily imperfect, aa the only copy inspected by him (in the library
of the Canon Devoti) wanted the table. This deficiency is suppUed
by Brunet, A concise description is therefore only here necessary.
Some complimentary verses of I. Baptista De Reffrigerius (14 lines)
which arc printed on the reverse of the first leaf, precede the table.
The table occupies three leaves. The poem follows — on the recto of
the fifth leaf, thus :

&c. &c. &c.

The author made Petrarch his model -, and in the opinion of Quadrio,
vol. ii. p. 197, is supposed at times to have reached the elegance and
tenderness of his original. In the whole^ 73 leaves. On the reverse
of the last leaf is the colophon, thus :

PER ME SCIPIONEM MALPIGLIVM
BONONIENSEM . M . CCCC . LXXII .

There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. It is justly
observed by Audiffredi, that a general resemblance may be traced be-
tween all the types of the early Bologna printers : those of Rugerius
and Bertochus, and Azzoguidi*s smaller fount, being very like the pre-
sent : but a more strict conformity appears between the founts of
Malpiglius and Rugerius, &c. The present is a sound and desirable
copy, in foreign red morocco binding.

99. JuvENALis. {Printed by Uhic Han.) With-

Editio Princeps. I perfectly assent to the opinions of Fossi and
the Duke di Cassano, that this edition— unknown to Audiffredi and
Panzer"— may be considered the parent printed text of Juvenal ; and
with the exception of the copy in the Magliabechi library, and another
in that of Count d*Elci at Florence, I apprehend the present to be the
only copy known. Its rarity and value may be therefore easily appre-
ciated. It is true that Fossi, in his account of this impression, (BibL
Magliabechi, vol. iii. col. 91-2) and in which he notices the Duke di
Cassano*s copy— now under description (but not 'aureis initialibus
insigne')— -refers to the opinions of some who have supposed that this

edidon may have been executed by Sixlim Riessingtr — as the smaller
types of that printer were preciseli/ those used in the earlier pieces of
Ulric Han— nor can he either confirm or refute this opiaion from
the want of collating the present book with one, printed with such
types of Riessinger as arc found in the present volume- This is sur-
prising, from a man who hod the Mogliabechi library at his command.
However, plausible as may be the argument in question, I incline to
think that the present book was in fact the production of Ulric Han's
press — inasmuch as it is a classical poet, afterwards reprinted by him,
in his larger type ; and as Hiessinger seldom or never used his earlier
types on poetical authors. These types have moreover so perfect a
resemblance to those of the Tusculan Queitioja, and the Art of Oratory,
printed by Ulric Han in the years 146S and 1469, that I make no
scruple in assigning at least the latest of these dates to the impression
under consideration.

The test commences thus — on the recto of the first leaf, without
either prefix or title :

A fiill page has 95 lines. There are neither numerals, sigoaturcs,
nor catchworda. Fossi makes the volume to corisist of 78 leaves, but
I find only 77 in the present copy ; having marked nith the pencil
each individual leaf. Where a fresh Satire commeaces, a small space
is observed, without indication of title or numeral order. On the re-
verse of the last leaf, having 26 lines on this page, the conclusion is
thtia — followed by no colophon, or other distinctive mark, as in the
subsequent edition.

Vt qui fortis erit sic Sc felicissimus idem
Vt led phaleris omnes & torquibus omnes.

The present copy, which is short — being about 7i by 5^ — appears
to have been once plentifully charged with ms. annotations : now
successfully taken out by pure water. It is, in other resx>ecis, most
desirable, and, to a classical collection like this, invaluable. In foreign
red morocco binding.

101. Jdvenalis. {Printed by Guldinbeck.) 1474.
Quarto.

From the silence of Pauier, Bnmet, and other bibliographers, I am
probably justified in calling Mil the rarest edit iou of the poet, of which
we have any knowledge. Yet, as it has been preceded by several date-
leu (and DO doubt anterior) impressions, it may probably be only a
reprint of some previous edition. That it was printed by Guldinbeck
(although the Duke di Cassano had supposed it to have been a pro-
duction oi Amoldii* de Bruiellii) is I think evident, from the form
of the capital letters R, L, and E : the lower case of those printers
being precisely similar. On the recto of the first leaf, the text begins
thus — leaving a apace of about an inch and a quarter square, for the
iitsertion of an iUuminated letter.

The Duke di Caasano calls this ' a very rare and unknown edition,'
and attributes the printing of it to Frandittis de Dino. A prefatory
address of Bonus Accursius Pisanus to C. Simoneta, first secretary of
the Duke of Milan, concludes thus : ' Vale mi clarissime Mecenas o

on the recto of the ensuing leaf ; from the title of which we learn that
the present is an Abridgement of the work of L. Valla above men-

full jioge, without any intervention of capital letters, contains 26 lines.
In the whole, 75 leaves. On the recto of the 75th and last, we read

FoUo.

These three portions of the Laws and Customs of Naples are
oound in one volume ; and they are not only the first editions of the
respective i^orks> but are as valuable as they are rare. The copies are
unluckily very objectionable^ especially that of the first portion. Four
leaves of an introduction^ by Marino da Caramantrico^ printed in Ri-
essinger's second-sized Roman type, in double columns, precede the
text. The text is printed in a large gothic letter, having the following
prefix, in red : ' ImpercUor Fredericus Romanorum Cesar semper augiistus

Frederick Imperatoris Jnctpit Liber primus de legUms et jsuetudinibus alUs

sometimes nearly lost, by a copious commentary, executed in thje
roman type. This first portion contains 77 leaves. On the recto of
the 77th and last, is the colophon, thus :

The second portion is printed throughout in the roman letter, and
presents us here with a very fine copy of the work. The title is thus :

dUe Regis pro exequendo suhscripto statuto* On the recto of the 48th

as follows :

This is rightly called by Audiffredi, a very beautiful edition, in a
fine roman character — and Laire as correctly designates the print-
ing to have come from the press of Miscomino. The name of the
Italian translator is Bartolomeo Corsini. The first four leaves con-
tain introductory matter, and a table. The text follows ; and, instead
of signatures, the leaves are regularly numbered — at the bottom of
the first page — as far as folio CLXVIII : the following leaf contains

interest, was discovered by F. Aretin, ' while he was amusing himself,
by way of recreation, in turning over several volumes;' and it also
appears, from the colophon, that Arnoldus de Brucella both collected
and printed it. It contuiis prosaical and metrical descriptions, chiefly

From the wood-cut arabesque border, on the reverse of the third leaf,
I should have suspected it to have been printed at Florence ; but
the colophon forbids such an inference. This is also the second vo-
lume which 1 remember to have seen executed by the printer whose
name is subjoined.* An address of the author to Matheus Bossiis, a
Canoa of Veroaa, commences on the recto, and ends on the reverse,
of the first leaf. Apparently, it ends abruptly ; but there is nothing,
from the construction, whereby it may not properly end as it does.
The answer of Bossua follows on the ensuing leaf, occupying 3 poges.
Both letters are pleasing, and not uninteresting compositions. On
the reverse of this third leaf is the arabesque ornament, before men-
tioned, enclosing the following title — in capital letters ; ' Zacharia

taire, vol. i. p. 348 — wlio liitd evidently seen itj for, in a note, he
mentions the clay of the month of the impression, and the colophon
as being ' cum tabula quintemionum.' Bruuet has not noticed (u
not being perhaps within the scope of his work) any of the earlier
Latin versions of Luciiin. There is a peculiarity in this impression
worth mentioning. In many of the pages there are hiatuses, of from
two to four inches, as if it should have been the intention of the prin-
ter to have them filled by Greek ckaracters, at that time wanting in
his office. This was the opinion of the Duke di Cassano, and I own
that I adopted it without hesitation ; but Ixird Spencer, on comparing
the Latin version with the Greek original, in the Aldine edition of
1503, found that there was no deficiency of the kind — and that the
Latin text was u continued version of the Greek, [lis Lordship ac-
counts for these blank spaces, by supposing that they were intended
to be filled up by the pencil of the illuminator; as they always follow
itTongly descnptwe passages oipertons or thingt. It seems indeed diffi-
cult to account for them upon any other hypothesis.

The Latin version is by Lilius Castellanus. This edition con-
tains 48 leaves, without signatures, catchwords, or numerals, and 24
lines in a full page. The colophon, in six lines, is at the bottom of
the recto of the last leaf, beneath the register 3 purporting the book
to have been printed on the t>th of Murch 147S' The present is m

Panzer had given very unsatisfactory references about this edition,
in the 3rd volume of his work, page 507- S> but in the 4th volume,
page 456. 5, he properly refers to Fossi, vol. ii. col. 31, where there
is a fiill and satisfactory account both of the book and of the author.
I may therefore be the more brief in the present place. On the recto
of the first leaf is the prefix, followed by the test — from the former of
which we learn that the volume contains the effusions of ' other vcjy
learned men.' The text commences thus :

lESV dolce o infiaito amor

A full p»ge has 26 lines. The signatures, placed below, have so sus-
picious an appearance, that I dare not call them geauine ; and yet
they are Doticed by Fossi. In the present instance, I ain persuaded
—from their blurred and uneven aspect — that they are a posterior
effort, with the haad ; using printer's type and ink. These aigna-
tures nm from a to i, in eights ; the first three leaves only having
Arabic numbers following the letter. The last signature has only 7
printed leaves ; on the recto of the 7th of which is the colophon,

necesssry.

Father Sterzinger, a particular friend of the Duke di Cassano, sup-
plied the latter with an account of this second edition. The first, of
the date of 1474, is described in vol, ii. p. 173. of the Mdes JUhorp.
Sterzinger observes that the description of it by Fossi, is erroneous,
inasmuch as the copy, there described, wanted one leaf) and that
Panzer, in consequence^ by copying Fossi, has been led into the same
error. The present copy is bolh defective and in bad condition —
wanting 4 leaves of the table : and the first leaf, wanting the address
of Tuppo to Bemardinus Gerardinus, at whose expense the work was
published. The whole edition, according to the authority first above
named, should contain 108 leaves. Ttie colophon, in five lines, is at

words ; but the leaves are regularly numbered, in arabic figures, in
the centre of the page, to the end of the volumes ; comprehending 83
leaves. At the bottom of the second column is the colophon — pur-
porting the book to have been printed at Rome in 1477. Without
doubt, the printer was Franciscus de Cinquinia. A short address, fol'
lowed by o register, is on the reverse of the last leaf. A sound, but
not unsoiled copy, in calf binding.

of this curious little volume of ' recipes against the plague,' is Denis,
p. 134, no. 968, and Fineoehi, p. 37 i where, in turn, Mercier, p. 52,
is the only authority cited. This impression is printed on signatures
o to/, in eights. On the reverse of f viij is the colophon, in 5 lines,
thus : ' Imprettum Florentie apud Sanctum Incobu de Ripolu M . cccc .
Ixxxi . Laus deo * gloriose tiirgini Marie.' It is the only book, from the
monastic press above mentioned, in which the spaces, for the capital
initials, are not filled up by the enlarged ornamented letter : the small
letter only being occasionally introduced. This may be considered a
sound and desirable copy ; recently bound in brown calf.

Audtffredi (Erfi/. Rom. p. 128,) never saw this exceedingly rare

instead of ' exceedingly rare.' He thinks it may be the tUrd edition

a supposed very early impression without indication of printer, time.

examined it — and who praises the text of it ' up to the skies.' t Lord
Spencer had been many years before he could obtain a copy of this
edition; but when he visited Rome, in 1819, tlie first bookseller'a
shop which he entered supplied him witli a copy, A second copy waa
obtained in the purchase of the Duke di Cossano's library ; which was
inferior to the present, and was sold for 10/, 5*. Reverting to the
■wdume under description, it may suffice to say that, generally, as far
as I have consulted the comparative texts, it agrees with the Spira
impression in the readingi, but not in the orthography. The same may
be said of the comparison with Ulrie Man's edition. On the recto of
t leaf, witliout any biographical or other prefix, the text begins
thus:

Including the titles, which are always in roman capitals, there are SO
lines below. A fuU page contains 38 lines. There are neither nu-

The reverse is blank. The present is a tall, and may be considered a
most desirable, copy 5 notwithstanding a former possessor has, in
the right side margin, suffered the copy to be deprived of a great
deal of marginal importance. It has been recently bound by C. Lewis
in green morocco, with ornamented joints, in a very elegant manner.

This is an Italian metrical piece, of six leaves only. The author
is Georgius Summarippa. A dedication to three distinguished Italian
characters occupies the recto of the fiurst leaf. The text begins on
the reverse, thus :

Moravus in the edition of Seneca's Moral Works of the same date. The
present copy is, however, wretched in the extreme. An address of
Petrus Gulosus de Amalfia precedes the text. The work is destitute

116. MissALE RoMANUM. Printed by Moravm.
Naples. 1477. Folio.

The Duke di Cassano is lavish in his commendations upon the
beauty of this copy — which is upon vbllcm. It is doubtless a de-
sirable volume i but defective, in wanting the Calendar — or tbe first
six leaves — which defect, indeed, the Duke notices. In other re-
spects, the copy is second rate, being both stained ond cropt — but as
a specimen of a yellan Moravui, executed in the printer's lai^gest go-
thic type, it is, as before observed, a desirable acquisition. In com-
parison with the vellum copy of the first editio^j of this Missal,*
and from the same collection, it is indeed a very inferior volume.
According to the Duke's reckoning, there are 340 leaves in this edi-
tion — exclusively of the table. The same authority fiirther ob-
serves, that Zaccaria, in his Bibl. Ritual, vol. i. p. 53, supposes this
impression to contain a singularity in the ' Mism pro Anima,' of which
there had been doubts : but, says he, if he hod seen the Missal of
1475, he would have found the same Mass contained in that publica-
tion also. The colophon to the present book, in 7 lines, is as follows :
' Sub /elicitsiino Ferdinando Rege indite Neap : op^ hoc sacrv^ impreuum

recto of W ten, the text concludes, without any indication of printer's
name, &c. Some verses of Mombritius to Simoneta are on the recto of
W ix. Of all the books which 1 have ever collated, the present has
exhibited the most capricious and puzzling arrangement of signatures.
I have compared the types of this edition with those in the impres-
sion of the Thebais of Statius, of which Mombritius was also the
editor, and which is described in the Bibl. Spenc. vol. ii. p. 371 — and
find the types of both books to be conformable with each other. This
is a sound and desirable copy, in old French blue morocco binding.

118. Naso Siculus (I) De Spectaculis a
Panhormitanis, &c. editis. Without Name
of Printer, Place, or Date. Quarto.

I do not know why the Duke di Cassano places this elegantly prin-
ted volume among the productions of the Neapolitan press. If it be
so, it must have been executed by Moratus. But I incline to con-
sider it as a production of the Venetian press, and as probably printed
by /. Rubeus, or by Bernard, or Lvcai renehu. The tract commences
with a metrical address by the author to ' I. Bonannus, an excellent
man and admirable jurisconsulist.' This on al. On a^, commences
the work, with the following title : ' loannii Ntuonit Siaiti Pankormii
de Spectaculis a PahonititanU in Aragmei regis Uiudem editis Barckinonia

A full page has 24 lines. The work is executed on a, b, c, in eights ;
except that a 4 seems to be wanting ; unless o 1 be erroneously prin-

The present is a very fair, sound copy ) recently bound in yellow mo-
rocco. It appears to have formerly belonged to a family of the name
of Beneventantu — and on the recto of the Hy leaf is marked ' Codtce

119. OCHSENBEUNNER ThOMAS. GeSTA ViRO-

BUM Illustrium. Printed by Besichen, ^c.
Rome. 1494.

I hardly remember to haie seen a more tastefully printed little
volume than the present. The capital initials are preceded by wood-
cut figures, either whole or half lengths, supposed to represent the
characters discoursed of — in a very neat manner. It must be admit-
ted, however, that these portraits are applied to very different cha-
racters.

On the reverse of the 1st leaf, a i, is the address of the author, thtta
entitled : ' Fralris TTiome Ochsenbriiner Basilien ordbdi Jratrum predica-
toTum In prUayn'i htsrou Stemata amplimmo patri PauU> de catnpo Fre-
goio lituli sancli SiiH presbylero CaTdinati Geituensi dicata Prohemiu.'
The arms of the Cardinal, neatly cut in wood, precede the address.
On the reverse of the second leaf, the test begins — surrounded by
a very neat wood-cut border. A large wood cut entirely occupies
the recto of the 4th leaf, llie signatnres comprehend a to d, inclu-
sively i of which a and d are in eights, and b and c in sixes. A blank
leaf forms d viij. On the recto of d vij, is the colophon thus :

On the reverse, are some hesameter and pentameter verses of An-
dreas Prenestinus' The present ftiir and desirable copy is in yellow

the prayer of St. Gregory ; two leaves. The office commences on the

121. OviDius. Metamorphoseon liber. Prin-
ted at Ferrara, by Camerius. 1476. Folio.

Tliis identical copy is described in Audiffredi's Spec. Edit. Hal. p.
■237, from tlie very words of the Duke di Caesano — but it is a more
copious description than appears in his ms. catalogue before me. Au-
diffredi colls the impression ' rarior inter rartssimas.' An address of
Franciscus Puteolanus, the editor, to Cardinal Gonzaga, precedes the
life of Ovid, by the same hand. In the commencement of this nddresa
the former tells the latter, that he had lately caused the poems of Ovid
to l>e revised and corrected, and edited under the Cardinal's patro-
nage." (Qufere, does any previons edition, printed at Ferrara, exist ?)
A life of Ovid follows, on the recto of the second leaf, and ends on
the recto of the third, with the date of 1476 beneath. The reverse is
blank. The Metamorphoses begin on the cecto of the ensuing leaf,
preceded by six hexameter and pentameter verses ; of which the two
last are as follow ;

80 THE CASSANO LIBRARY.

Quicquid in his igitur uicu* rude carmen liabebit :
Emendaturus si licuisset eram.

Lord Spencer, who bna collated this copy, observes, that ' the pa-
theriugB are irregular : the first, after three leaves of dedication and
preface, having 10 leaves — from the beginning of the text : then 13
gatherings, of eight leaves each ; next, five gatherings of six leaves
each J then one of eight leaves — which is followed by four leaves, on
the first page of which the book ends.' This edition has one typogra-
phical singularity, on the score of catchwords — which occur on the
reverse of the last leaf of each gathering, in the centre of the bottom
margin. On the recto of the last leof, is the following colophon :

F inibus ausonip motus qui c^saris ira est

A ugustine tua nunc reuocatur ope :
H ac modo si aetherea frueret ouidius aura

This copy is unluckily very heavily charged with ms. annotations,
in a small hand, in red ink. It is in foreign calf binding.

This is, in every respect, an interesting litlle quarto volume. It is
among the very earliest works printed upon the subject of Phytiog-
nomg, and is also among the earliest books from the press of Maufer,
who was a native of Rouen. The author was Petnis Padubanensis, a
Parisian — who styles himself ' phie minimus atumnorura,' This book
is entirely destitute of numerals, signatures, and catchwords ; and has
the following colophon, beneath the words 'GrattasAltissiho Dko,'
on the reverse of the 50th and last leaf ^ a full page having 34 lines.

123. Paris de Puteo. De Re Militari. Prin-
ted by Sixtus Riessinger. Without Date. FoKo.

Although the title of the prologue" pronounces this work to treat of
military matters, that of the text, on the recto of the second leaf, gives
us to understand that it relates to ' the laws of single combat, called Du-
elling.* It is doubtless a curious and uncommon volume : ' opera curi-
osissima e rara^ che potrebbe dar molto lume agli usi, e costmni di que'
tempi'— ^re the words of the Duke di Cassano. The general title will
giye the best notion of the contents : '' IndpU SoUenis 8( vtilissimus Ubel'^

The other titles are uniformly printed in the large lower-case gothic
type, and the text in the second roman t3rpe, of the printer. The work
is executed in long lines. A full page has 36 lines -, there are neither
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. In the whole (according to
the Duke di C.) there are 181 leaves. But it must be remembered
that the present impression is only a version of a previous Lathn edi-
tion J briefly noticed by Panzer, vol. iv. p. 3S2, but fully indicated in
Gmstimani, pp. 98-9 ; who chastises bibliographers, for the supposed
date of 1471 -S, of the present edition, and for their ignorance of the
Latin one— -which he thinks is printed by Arnoldus de Bruxella, or
Riessinger, or Hoensteyu"— and which he calls ' la vera originale cdi-
zione.' The name of Sixtus Riessinger is printed in gothic letters at
the bottom of the last page but one of this edition, and a page of re-
gister ensues. The present copy is one of the finest and soundest
books in the coUection to which it belonged. It is in foreign calf
binding.

witb a place in this Library. The book is described in Loire's Jmiex,
vol. ii. p. 78, and although the printer be unknown, Laire says that
the types resemble those of Gnininger, a printer at SCrusbourg about the

e^'en mentioned in the recent edition of Bnmet's Manuel du Libraire,
vol. iii. p. 50, When in the Duke di Cassano's possession, this copy
wanted some leaves, both in the Sonnets and Triumphs — ' otherwise,'
observes the Duke, ' this book mould be invaluable." Lord Spencer
however, has been so fortunate as to make it perfect ; owing to the
politeness and liberality of Mons. Van Praet — who, upon completing
the copies in the Royal and Ste. Gencvi&ve Libraries, was so obliging
as to supply such leaves as fortunately perfected the copy in question
— the only one, I am disposed to think, which has ever found its way
into England. There is also a perfect copy of it in the Royal Library

at Naples. Antonio Marsand, in his BibUoteca Petrarchesca, subjoined
to the second volume of his magnificent edition of I'etrarch, (p. 310)
published at Padua in 18^0, seems to rejoice in the opportunity of
giving ' the lovera of bibliographical science, nn accurate description
of a book, wliich was unknown to all bibliographers, and but superfi-
cially described by Giustiniani.' His description is from the perfect
copy in the Royal Library at Naples. Marsand had seen the present
copy when it was in the possession of the Duke di Cassono, and it is
pronounced to have been ' disgroziatainente imperfetto.' It remains
to describe the volume in a very particular manner. There is neither
preface, prefis, nor title j but, on the recto of the first leaf, the first
sonnet runs thus :

01 ehascoltate in rime sparse ilsuono
Diquei sospiri ondio nutriua it core

Without marking other deviations, which are mere orthographical
variations, those in italics — in the preceding — will, on comparison with
the first sonnet, from the Spira edition of 1470, as it appears in the
Bihl. Spencer, vol. iv. p. 132 — clearly show that the present is nol a
mere rtprint of the Brat edition of the poet. This impression has nei-
ther numerals, signatures, nor catchwords ; and a full page of the
sonnets (as fol. 33, rect.) contains 27 lines. On the reverse of the
I51st leal', the Sonnets lenuinate. Then follows the account of
Laura, from the ms. of Petrarch himself, found in a copy of Virgil in
the Papal Library — as before given in Bibl. Spencer, vol. i\. p. I34j

127. Petrarca. Sonetti e Trionfi. Without
Name of Printer, Place, or Date. Folio.

The Duke di Cassano was unable to appropriate this volume to any
particular press. He thought, from the illuminated arms of King
Ferdinand, at the bottom of the first page of the Sonnets, that it
might have been the production of the press of Francisctu de Ditto ;
and his bibliographical friend, the Padre Sterzinger, was rather dis-
posed to attribute it to Christopher Amoldus of Venice. It is however
decidedly in the character of Fhilippus de Petro, as exemplified in the
Atila Flagellum Dei, Italic^, 1477> by that printer. A table of five
leaves, beginning on the reverse of the first leaf, precedes the text.
The brief biography of Laura follows the table. On the recto of
the sixth leaf the Sonnets begin thus :

OI CHASCOLTA

Di quel sospiri ondio

&c. &c. &c.

Thisi on signature a i. A full page, as on sign, a vL, contains 39 lines.
The type is large, round, and handsome. The first page of the Son-
nets is illuminated with the arms above mentioned, supported by
Cupids. When in a fresh state, this illumination must have been
very beautiful. Another, more splendid, and almost perfect, illumi-
nation, appears at the commencement of the Triumphs, on sign, p i,
recto : but the colour of the whole page, as weU indeed as of the ge-
nerality of the volimie, is brown and tarnished. It may be necessary
however to observe, that the Sonnets end on the reverse of o yj. with
the following colophon :

marked — iiii — I suspect that four more leaves (here wanting) should
follow — which leaves, in all probability, contain the biography of Pe-
trarch in the Italian language. It may be further remarked — that
this copy, although tall, has been cruelly cut in the right side mar-
gin ; as a view of the ancient ms. signatures — besides the abt^ or

First impreasion of the CommeatBry of Philelphus, and considered
to be the FIRST book printed at Parma. Panzer, vol. ii. p. 350, is
copious and instructive in his references. The type is neat and deli-
cate, and apparently formed upon the model of Jensou's; but it
wants roundness and greater skilfiilness of execution. The impres-
sion begins with a prefix of 13 lines, beneath which are 15 lines. A
full page has 28 lines. There are neither numerals, signatures, nor
catchwords. On the reverse of the 122d leaf (and not 240, as Panzer
erroneously states it) is the following colophon :

k

QuEe coodam totura lectof quesita p orbem :

It is not only clear, from the error in the numbering of the leaves,
but from the manner in which the colophon is copied, that Panzer had
never seen this very rare hook ; however, his references may be useful
in pursuing. The present is a slightly discoloured, but upon the whole,
a sound and desirable copy. In recent dark green morocco binding.

Panzer, vol. ii. p. 388, is copious in his reference respecting this
edition; but De Bure, vol, vi, p. 438, almost supplies the place of any
other consultation. The chief remark, made by him, is, that the orna-
mental frame work at the beginning of each life — and the centre of
which is blank— was probably intended as a border to receive the por-

trait of eacli illustrious individual, discoursed of, Dc Bure ouce saw
a copy where these portraits were introduced by the pencil of the illu-
minator — but mentions nothing about these portraits being printed.
As no copy has been found with them, as coming from the press, we
may conclude that none such exists. In other respects, De Bure pro-
nounces this to be ' Edition fort rare, et trfes consider^e des Curieux."
The designation of the place where, and of the persons by whom,
printed, helps to add to its curiosity.

If De Bure's description be quite correct, the present copy is imper-
feet at its commencement ; but if it be only ambiguous, the present
copy is complete. He says that ' four separate leaves, contBJning a
particular table should be found at the beginning of the volume ; and
that this table is accompanied with a summary extract written in Ita-
lian verse, in praise of different great men,' &c. But here are four
leaves, which precede the text, of which three contain the verses in
question, and the fourth the table and imprint. — as noticed by De
Bure. It should follow, therefore, that the table and imprint form
one leaf, and the Italian panegyrics three : and as no other leaves are
specified by De Bure, as preceding llie text, I take this copy — from the
foregoing statement — to be quite perfect. The imprint, which is cor-
rectly given by De Bure — is as Ibllows !

I presume the latter part of the imprint to mean, that the work was
printed at the villa called Poliiano, four miles from Verona. After the
four leaves, just specified, the first book of the text begins, with a prc-
fi.x of file lines in capital letters. There are no signatures, till the
loth leaf of the text, when we observe c : c. The signatures are,
many of them, so irregularly placed, that it will he safer to say that
the text contains 235 leaves : on the reverse of the last of which we

I consider this to be the second edition of Fhalaris printed by Ries-

fac-simile appears in the Bibl. Spencer.vol. ii. 234— is the first. Why
the Duke di Cassano, in his ms. catalogue, designates this impression
as of the year 1470 or 1471, does not appear very obvious. All that
can be said with certainty is, that, this book was at least printed in
1473 i for there is a coeval ma. inscription, at the end of the colophon,
purporting the present copy to have been ' leen and noted bg ane Gai-
par, on the XVIJth da^ of October in the year 1473, while Fi^dinand of
Arragon tcra the reigning Prince.' Nor does it appear more obvious, why
the Duke di Cassano should call the types of this edition ' semi-go-
thic"— while Giustiniani, p, 39, (referring to the very copy in ques-
tion) calls them " round." I do not know that any inferences cam be
drawn from the use of thejlnrger gothic character with which this im-
pression begins, and ends — as thus — for the beginning :

sano, whose account is sufficiently brief, very properly refers to Au-
diffredi. Edit. Rum. p. 164-5 j and Audiffredi as properly assigns the
printing to the press of Schurener de Bopardia. His account is rather
curious. He says, he saw four copies of this impression ; of which
three had only the following lines as the colophon — and which indeed
only appertain to the present copy.

However this may be," observes Audiffredi, " it is evident, from
the above inscription, that the book waa extant in 1474, and was
printed in the house Sanctit de Pireto. That bibliographer then goes
on with his reasons for attributing the volume to the press of Schu-
rener de Bopardia — which need not be here repeated— as the point ia
incontrovertible. It is also equally incontrovertible that the present
b the ucond edition of the Epistles of the Younger Pliny.

This impression may be briefly described. It is entirely destitute
of numerals, signatures, and catchwords ; a full page containing from

out Name of Printer, Place, ot- Date. Quarto.

This edition is printed in the same type as the Abktis, noticed at
page 14, ante — and of course us the other works there specifically
mentioned. It ia probably among the rarest of the works printed in
this hitherto unappropriated character. Denis, to whom Panzer
refers, relies exclusively upon the copy in the Pinelli collection. The
prefatory address of Franciscus Philclphus, the trtmslotor, occupiea the
first two leaves, and a portion of the 5th page. Philclphus concludes
.tikis address by telling Philippus Maria Anglus [Visconti] Duke of
Milan, to whom it is written, that, " if he is gratified by these Apoph-
thegms, they shall be followed up by some others ;'' but the Duke dying
in 1447, and Nicolas V. mounting the Papal chair the same year,
Philclphus dedicated the remainder of the Apophthegms, of which the
latter half of this volume may be anid to be composed, to that Pontiff —
and barely notices, at (he conclusion of his address, the fact of having
dedicated the previous portion to Philip Maria.

The present volume may he therefore said to be divided into two
parts: the first, concluding on the reverseof the Slat leaf, has the fill-
lowing colophon : I

On the following leaf commences the translator's addresa to Popa
Nicholas V. : which, considering that that Pontiff had but just com-
menced his papal career, is sufficiently laudatory. He tells him that
" all good men, from all parts, approach him : every one distinguished
for understanding, for eloquence, or any ejegant accomplishment,
flock to hira." This address occupies three pages and a half : and if
followed by

Plutarchi Apophthegmata Laconica.

Pope. At the bottom, we read :

tor is Alessandro Jaconello de Riete. On a 3, recto, the Life of

p. 511, of my Bibliographical Tour, us being in the Imperial Library at
Vienna. That copy is, as this ought to be, a folio. The Duke di
Cassano supposes the impression to have been executed by Later —
but tbe types are precisely those whicli were used in the monastery of
St. Eusebius at Rome — as a glance upon thefac-simile atvol. i. p. 196,
of the Bibl. Spencer, may serve to prove. The 5lh leaf of this copy is

This is doubtless one of the rarest little metrical tracts of the xvih
century. It has been rather inaccurately described by Maittairc, and
does not appear to have been ever seen by Panzer : which latter bib-
liographer, however, corrects the former in supposing it to have been
printed ' per Augutlinum Genoensetn : whereas, from the construction
of the colophon, (as the reader will presently see) it should seem
that Augustinus of Genoa was only the Head of the Monastery in

the ''Moral Works of Seneca,** printed fifteen years before — which
book must be considered both the master-piece of Moravus and of the
early Neapolitan press. The Duke has also given a very minute and
elaborate description of the arrangement of the letter press ; much
more so than either the value or rarity of the work demanded. It

151. PORCIUS HiERONIMUS. CoMMENTAHIUS,

&c. Printed by Euchariua Silber. Jtome.
1493. Octavo.

This is the most elegantly printed volume, which I remember to
have examined, from the press of Eucbarius Silber ; and the contentB,
to an historical Antiquary, are not a little interesting : for, they relate
to the circumstances attending the election and elevation of Alexander
VI. to the Papal chair : with the abridged orations of the Ambassa-
dors of foreign states which were made upon the subject. But, as
Audi&edi justly remarks, those orations which were made by the
representatives of France, England, Portugal, &c. are not subjoined —
so that the present volume may be considered as only the Jhst part of
the meditated performance of the author. In the 8th page of his
Commentary — dedicated toPerdlnand and Isabella — or on the recto
ofthelfithleaf from the beginning of the text,— the author thusolludes
to another work, of which he does not however mention the publica-
tion : — " de eiuB fomilite [ac. Roderici Borgin] ante continuata pro-
rogatione ad tuec usque tempora, quod est mirabile dictu, mnu dt
gentUium nuptianan ritu Ubellvs et autentica documenta uetustissima
tamen te facilius edocebunt," &c.

It remains to describe the volume bibliographicall]'. A prefix of
13 lines and a half, in capital letters — in which the author styles him-
self" Pa/riliiw Romama Rota Primanus Judilor" — is followed by four
lines of text, on the recto of the first leaf. The text presents but a
stnall page to the reader ; being only 3 inches and three quarters in
length, by two inches and a quarter in width. The margin is ample
and handsome. An address to Alexander VI. begins, on the recto of
the 5th leaf, in the following complaisant manner : " Donarem Alex-
ander Pontifex moxime tute Sanctitati pateraa : donarem tripodos ; et
dulcia munern: Sed non hiec mihi uis non iUi talium res est." The
reverse of the 7th leaf is blank. On the recto of the 8th begins the
preface of the Commentary, addressed to Ferdinand and Isabella :
e of the 13th leaf begins the Commentary itself.

152. Processus & Inquisitio &c. qui cont.
Ferd. Reg. Conspir. Printed at Naples.
1488. Folio.

1 consider this to be one of the moat curious and intrinsicaUf valu-
able books in the C.tssANo Collection. Panzer, ia his account of it,
relies exclusively upon Slaittaire, vol, i. 504-5, where it seems to be
incorrectly described, ns containing, in part, a French text, of the
date of 1487, and a Latin text of the above date. It in also described
as a qunrto. Now, the text is almost entirely in the Italian language,
with short introductory pieces in the I^alin tongue ; of which the first
three pages exhibit the longest specimens. The names of the con-
spirators, chiefly Neapolitan Princes and Noblemen, are set forth, on
the second page. As a favourable specimen of the Duke di Cassono's
style and manner of treating a rare book, 1 subjoin that noble bibli-
ographer's account of the present — which is sufficiently exact and
particular.

ples. 1477. Quarto.

Hub copy ia imperfect ; wanting five leaves at the beginning, and
seven at the end ; but it was procured by the Duke di Cassano as
being a very rare tract, printed by Aldyng, whose name, according
to Giuatiniani, appears at the end of the "th leaf of the table — want-
ing in this copy. At the end of the text, previously to the table, tbe
colophon runs thus : Finia huius opuaculi FarthcDope impssum : anao
salutis 1477 octaua kalendas septebrios. Only 3 leaves of table here
follow.

154. PsALTERiuM. Printed at Naples. 1477.
Quarto.

The Duke di Cassano calls this a very rare edition. Panzer, vol.
ii. p, 159, no. 37, refers only to MaJttaire, p. 385 ; the latter of whom
does not intimate it to have been printed by Moravua — although the
Duke does, in his printed Catalogue. The type is in the larger and
rounder of the two roroan founts used by Moravus. The impresMon
contains hymna, antiphones, &c. and begins with " Ad nocturrmm
Ymnus," On the recto of the ensuing and second leaf, the first
Psalm of David begins. The book is entirely destitute of numerals,
signatures, and catchwords. This copy ooaluins l\Q leaves, but I

suspect that a leaf is wanting, after iblio 111. The colophon, in 14
lines, followed by Finit Feliciter, in capitals, concludes the impression*
The name of Moravus does not appear in it.

155. PxoLEMiEus. Lat. Printed by I. Reger,
at Ulm. 1486. Folio.

A mere reprint of Leonard Hoi's edition, published in the same
city. The decorative initials are precisely the same $ witness, the
letter of which a fac-simile is given in the Bibl, Spencer, vol. ii. page
301— with other specimens of the like nature. The contents are also
similar. The name and device of the printer-^the latter, a stork,
with a sort of trefoil ornament in his mouth, having, on one side, the
letter I — and on the other R — is on the reverse of the last leaf. In
recent brown calf binding.

156. PxoLEMiEus. Printed at Rome, by P. De
Turre. 1490. Folio.

Audiffredi rightly designates this volume as printed " in a most ele-
gant roman type ; ** but he is wrong in observing that the maps are the
same as those in the edition of Bttckmck of 147S— unless indeed the
four copies of it, which he saw, had those maps inserted : whereas, in
the copy before me, these maps are from wooden blocks, and those in
Buckinck's edition are upon copper. Moreover, these maps are pre-
cisely the same as those of the Ulm editions of 1488 and 1486. The
very type upon the rectos are similar, with the omissions of the ara-
besque borders. This observation is worth making, as Audiffredi, in
censuring Laire, tells us that *' any boy might have discovered the
maps of the two Roman editions to be the same.'* Not that that bib-
liographer could have been mistaken, but that the copy, under des-
cription, has not the mi^ps which are in the Roman edition referred to
Audiffredi properly observes, that the present impression is more
copious than that previously printed at Rome.

It remains to describe the book. A table of chapters is on the recto
of a2 : a i being blank. The first set of signatures runs to h, in
eights, with the exception of a, which has nine leaves : h has four
leaves, uicluding a blank leaf, here preserved ; and exhibiting a beau-
tiful specimen of the manufacture of the paper. Another blank leaf
(A i) follows. This second set of signatures extends to E in eights :
D 3 being repeated for D 4. E has six leaves, including a blank leaf.

This impression does not appear to be noticed in the list of Luigi
Pulci's works in Panzer's index : nor can I find any account of it in
the ms. catalogue of the Duke dj Caasnno. It appears to be a collec-
tion of heroic epistles, after the manner of Ovid, translated into Ita-
lian verse : beginning with " Lucrecian Xiauro Epistola prima" — as for
as the unfortunately wormed condition of the first two leaves of the
present copy enables me to make it out. In other respects, this copy
is large and clean. TJie second epistle is from larba King of Afiioa
to Dido Queen of Carthage : beginning thus :

Mobre lo Ubre del regmet dels Pricepi.** This is in large lower case
gothic letters. The Epistle follows on the recto of the second leaf,
surrounded by rather a handsome arabesque border. The impression
is printed in gothic letters, in double columns, upon signatures — a to
f, % in eights : z having only four leaves. The colophon is in 26
lines — of which I copy the last 10 lines : " hnpssa en la insigna duitat

160. -Sagundinus (Nicolaus) de Epistolari
DicENDi Genere. Without Date. Quarto.

1 differ wholly from the Duke di Cassano, who attributes this tract,
to the press of A, de Bruxelia, from the general resembhmce of the
initial letters, and from the I'orticular resemblance of the characters
to those of an edition of the Epistles of Datus, of the date of 1472, in
the Ubrary of St, Martin, at Palermo. The Duke procured a foe-
simile of this latter edition, which, although it appears not to be par-
ticularly faithful, is, in the formation of the cai>ital A, alone, sufficient
to warrant a different conclusion from his own. At the same time I
am at a loss to whom to attribute this rare tract, There is a general
resemblance to the larger type of I, P. de Lignamine, but the letters,
though large, are too closely put together, la the whole, 1 1 leaves,
without numerals, signatures, or catchwords. A iiill page has twenty-
four lines. At the bottom, * Vale,' In calf binding.

161. Samuelis Rabbi Epistola, &c. Printed
by Schallui, Mantua. 1475. Folio.

The present is certainly a very rare and curious little folio tmct.
The Duke di Cassano mentions the notice of an Italian version of it,
by Brunet, vol. iii. 187, who assigns the same year to it, on the xviith
of June. As the present impression has only the domiaiail date, we
ore uncertain which lias the priority. The work itself appears to
have been concealed by the Jews for more than 230 years ; and was
translated into Laliu in 1239 : " from thence diligenUy amended by
John Schallus, a Doctor of Arls, and printed by him at Mantua in
1475." This is the chief purport of the colophon, which is on the
reclo of the 20th and lost leaf— occupying 16 lines.

The work was written with the view of converting the Jews —
" from the errors which they entertained of the advent of Christ "—

Georius Schultheisszen de Boll, at Modena.

Every page of this rare little tract has been inlaid ; and 1 believe
the present is the only specimen of the printer in his Lordship's li-
brary. A prefix, in two lines of lower case, and one line of capital
letters, precedes the text : of which, a full page containa 94 lines.
Each of these seven penitential Psalms is preceded by the title, in
capital letters ; but one leaf is unfortunately wanting, containing the
end of the 5 Island beginning of the 102d Psalra. On the reverse of
the eleventh leaf (in this copy) is the colophon, thua : beneath the
word FINIS—

168. Statuta Antiqua Uubis [Rom^]. Prin-
ted by Xlhric Han. Without Date. Folio.

According to the Duke di Cassano's ins. catalogue, this book vaa
published at Rome nboul the year MJO. Audiffredi places it in
1471 i although no colophon is given by him. The date of the Btill,
" contra sumeiites vindictam, " at the end of the roluoie — here sup-
plied by ms, — is 1460 , x Ka] . Oct : and I have little doubt of the
printing of the book within a year afterwards ; tor the object in the
compilation of these slatutes, was, as the iirst prefatory page testifies)
" ut scaudalu ex Vrbe remoueantur, lites sedentur, et dubia que na-
tura humana quotidie nova suscitat : declarelur," And it is not
likely, for the accomplishing of such an object, that four years should
elapse between the compilation and promulgation of the Statutes in
question. If this be so, it is just possible that the present may be
the earliest book from the press of Ulric Han, io the character in
which it was printed.

Seven leaves of a Table of Contents precede the test of the first
book : which book contains 37 leaves. Then 4 leaves of a table to
the second book ; the second book ending on the recto of the forty-
ninth leaf, exclusively of the table. Four leaves of a table follow, to
the third book -, which latter concludes on the reverse of the 35th leaf.
Then a blank leaf, in the present copy. Next, two leaves, of " Sup-
plicationes ; " and four pages of " Setratio Statulonmi. " Eighteen
ensuing leaves, of miscellaneons matter, (including a ms. leaf at the
conclusion) close the volume ; so that the 4th book, from the blank leaf
above mentioned, contains 22 leaves. But according to Audiffredi
{Edit. Rom. p. 70) there should be 7 leaves of " Ordinations relating
to marriages and funerals" — and printed in the Italian language—
which make the volume perfect. These latter are wanting here. The
Duke di Cassano says that " thit copy was the same, and the only one
seen by Audiffredi;'' butthat bibliographer notices one in the archives
belonging to the library of the Capitol. The Duke's copy had be-
longed to the family of Gaetano.

Although no name of printer be subjoined, there can be no ques-
tion of this book's having been printed by Ulric Han, in his larger cha-
racter. In the present copy the types have a sharp and fresh ap-
pearance as if recently cut. There ore of course neither signatures,
numerals, nor catchwordii. In russja binding.

AUGENDi Orationem. (Printed at Naples.
Without Date.) Quarto.

From the prefatory address of Franciscus Tuppo to B. G. Ame-
rinus, this volume appears to have been printed at Naples by the
former ; but why the Duke di Cassnno should suppose the types,
used by Tuppo in this book, to be those of Hikshi\ueb, is to meunaC'
countable: since I am not acquainted with any specimen of the print-
ing of Riessinger which resembles them either in size or elegance of
fonn. The address of the author to a young man, of the name of
Antonio Caraifa, fijilows on the recto of the 2d leaf — preceded by a
poetical address to the same young man — in which llie work is styled
' de modo augeaili uratianem per singula verba a Cicerone extracta ad eo$
spectaie que epl'as utpure tl abialute ali'id dicer uolunl,' &c. This copy
is imperfect — wanting the 3d, 8th, and 10th leaves. To be perfect,
it should have 56 leaves. A register is on the reverse of the laat.

172. Thebaldeo da Ferrara. Opere. With-
mit Date or Place, ^c. Quarto.

There is some little difficulty in appropriating this edition. Panzer,
on the authority of AudilTredi, Edii. Hal. p. 204-5, assigns the im-
pression to ihe Bracia press ; and Lord Spencer thinks, that, if it
be printed there, it must be of a loter period than that of the Lucre-
tius, Juvenal, Ceccho d'Ascoli, &c. as it has signatures. This is
doubtless true ; and, from the appearance of the large lower case
gothic type, forming the title, I should suppose the period of its execu-
tion to be not earlier than 1480. Yet Audiffredi, after noticing the
very slight and imperfect mention of this edition by Haym, Uebure,
Morelli, and Laire— as well as the total ignorance of it by Uuiidrio — •
henlatei whether it should be considered as n Brescia publication.
He thinks it, however, probable that it may be ; from finding a copy
of it in the Cnsanatensian library, in an old binding, with some other
tracts from the Brescia prisss — to whicli it bore a strong resemblance.
But the difficulty lies, in knowing whether this be realti/ the im<
pression noticed by Audiffredi — whose accuracy can never be (|ues-

tioned but with considerable hesitation. He describes the first two
lines of the title, thus :

whereas, in the copy before me, it is thus :

Opere del thebaldeo da
Ferrara cu tabula.

The remaining lines are precisely conformable. Again, the head title
to the table, in AudiEFredi, is thus ;

Tavola de la psente opra {sk) scodo lordie de lalphabeto.

In the copy before me, it is as follows ;

Tabula de la psete opra secodo lordie de lalphabeto.

In other respects, his description ia quite correct. After the title, in
8 lines, follows the Dediiation (in Italian) on the reverse, to the lllus .

Sonnet begins. The signatures run in eights, as far as Q : when
the Sonnets end on the reverse of Q v : with the word FINIS, only —

appears, from the perpendicularity of the water mark, to be a folio —
cut down tu a small quarto, or rather octavo, size. In foreign calf

173. Terentius. (^Printed by Sixttu RUtsin-

It is very probable that the preseot is the rarest edition of Terence
which exists ; and, except tlie imperfect copy of it which I saw in the
Public Library at Stuttgart, I know not, at this moment, where to
mention the existence of another copy. The Duke di Cossano makes
the same observation. Panzer refers to Ginstiniani, p. 36, and this
latter bibliographer to the very copy (then in the Duke di Cassano'a
collection) under description, Giustiniani says that " some think the
date of it to be 1474," but he cannot speak with certainty upon it —
"■ adding, however, " Questo i un pezzo, che fa veramente gloria al

and hence given it an antiquity n
in 1471, after those by Mentelin andGering. The execution of it in the
small type of Riessinger makes it almost quite certain that it waa pub-
lished during the year 1471 — if not before :as, in this year, the printer>
(seethe article Baktoi.us, suferCodicb, p. 20, ante) first put forth his
larger type — to which, with some modiGcotiona, he appears afterwards
to have strictly adhered.

The first leaf (either on the recto or reTerso, as the binder may
make it} has a brief biography of Terence, in 24 lines, beneath s pre-
fix in two lines of capital letters. Then, on the reverse of the second
leaf, the argument of the Andria, in 30 lines, beneath the word Argu*
MBNTDM. Agiun, below, is the well known Epitaph of Terence, be-
ginning " Natui in exceUis," &c. On the recto of the ensiung leaf is
a briefer argument of the Andria, ici 9 lines — widely spaced — as is the
whole of the remainder of the text. The Prologue follows, in twenty
lines — concluding at the 9th line of the second page of the test. The
first scene begins thus :

The preceding in 4 lines. A full page has 22 lines. There are neither
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords ; but, in the whole, 134 leaves.
It may be noticed, that the two pages of the last leaf but one, con-
tain, each, 23 tines ; and the two last pages, each, 24 lines. The im-
pression ends thus :

phedria itidex nr Ph. lam faxo aderit Vos ualete et
plaudite Caliopius recenaui . Finis Terentii Aphricani.

The present copy, notwithstanding the outer side margin is uniformly
(but skilAiUy) inlaid, may be considered a fine and desirable one.
The first page yet retains the armorial illumination of the original
possessor. It is in foreign green morocco binding.

174. Terentius. Printed at Najdes. 1478.
Folio.

The Duke di CasaaDo had coaceived (as a well versed bibliogra-
pher would naturoUy have conceived) that the press work of this edi-
tion was that of Moravus ; but on a careful comparison with the types
of books printed by Franmcwt ill Dino, he had no doubt of the present
impression being the production of his press. This edition has
escaped Panzer. On comparing it with the earlier ones of Mentelin,
Ulric Han, and Gering, 1 apprehend it to be founded upon their t«xts,
but more especially upon that of Ulric Han. It has no distinctions of
verses, as have the earlier Venetian impressions. A brief biogr^hy
of Terence, such as is found in Ulric Han's edition, precedes the Epi-
taph of the poet and the Argument of the Andria. The text begins at
the bottom of the recto of the second leaf. A full page has S3 lines.
In the whole, 85 leaves — without numerals, signatures, or catch-
words. On the recto of the last leaf, the colophon is as follows :

A register is below ; denoting the gatherings to be in eights. Brunei

supposes it to be very rare. The present copy is large — but its clean
condition is owing to very great attention ha\ing been paid to wash-

those used in the monastery of St. James di Ripoli, at Horence ; but they

176. Tbottus. De Vero & Perfecto Clerico.
Printed by Severinus, at Ferrara. 1475.
Quarto.

The Duke di Cassano calls this " a very rare impression of a work
little known." I am afrwd the present notice of it will not tend to
difiiiae a more general acqiiaintance with it. The author, in his pre-
face to D. I. Zeno " Pontifex Patavinus," lias the hardihood to affirm
— " certe etate hac nostra tanto mngis : qto virtuosorura ac excel-
lentium homiiiuni penuria est maior : Fresertim in amplissimis (ligni-
tatibus, in (|uibus propter peccandi licentiam abstinere sex. ex divlni
Platonis sentcntia difGcilius est.". It ia rarely, at this period, that we
find the Churcli Dignitaries dealt with thus Ireely.* There ia a very
particular account in Seemiller, vol. i. p. 71 of this impression -^ to
which indeed Panzer chiefly refers ; but why that bibhographer should
infer that either " the ignorance or the carelessness of the bookbinder
had placed the table at the beginning, rather than at the end of the
book," does not very obviously appear. Tables, with colophons sub-
joined, arc sometunes found as these are. It was the colophon which
induced 3eemiller to draw the inference. The table consists of seven
leaves. Thecolophon announces the work to have " been composed
by Albcrtus Trottus of Ferrara, and there printed by Severinus of the

a poetical address (in hexameter verses) to the Christian princes to
arm against the Great Turk, and as it consists of only 16 leaves, is, in
all probability, very rare. The Duke di Cussano rightly attributes it

I liave compared this edition with that of 1 472, by the same printer,
described in vol. vi. page S33, and find them both precisely similar, as
&r as folio 20, reverse, where the present contains two additional
words — which shews that the press was re-set ; and the varying of
the contractions, and the extension of the last pag& of the work — ia
al90 an additional confirmation that the present is a fresh impression.
If it were not fur a ms. memorandum — which is undoubtedly coeval—
J should suppose this edition to be subsequent to that above referred
to — but this memorandum puts it out of all doubt that it is an anterior
impression. It is as follows. " hlam Ubru emit pr fridericus prior

This ia in every respect a very curloua little volume ; and the pre-
sent copy is doubly estimable, both on account of its being printed
UPON VELLUM, and of its probably being the identical copy, (having
the first page illuminated, ivith a Cardinal's arms at bottom) belong-
ing to Cardinal Riario, of a drama, acted in his own palace. The
work in question is a sort of dramatic history, and is designated by
Denis, vol. i. p. 359, under the title of " Hatoria de Urbe Granata nn-
guUiri virtule feticAhtuque aiapiais Ferdinandi el Helaabeth Hi^aninrvtn
Reg'a & Regime expugnata." The plan or plot ia briefly detoiled in the
3d page of the author's preface. Audiffredi, Edit. Rom. p. 318, ia par-
ticular and instructive upon this volume ; chiefly controverting the
error of Barlholinui being the author of the hexameter and pentameter
verses which follow the play, instead of Marcellinua ; which error,
having misled Gesner, Zeno, and Fabriciua, &c. is rectified (as Audif-
fredi intimates) by the insertionof the name of JtfarceHiniM* the grand-
son and pupil of the author ' in the preBx to the verses themselves.'
The second point, which Audiffredi controverts, is that the play was
not acted in the presence of Pope Innocent VIII., but in that of tlie
Cardinal, the Court, and the People. The words indeed of the preface,
bear out Audiffredi in such an inference, They are these. " Tanto
autem patrumt ae populi silentio et attentiune escepta est, tantusque
favor ac plausus sulisequutus, ul jam dudum nihil feque gratum," &c.

cisely in the manner of the earlier pieces of Cicero, by the same
printer, and has the appearance of a large paper copy. The com-
mentary of Nicolas de Lyra is in Italian ; nor does it appear to be a
version of the Latin Commentary attached to his Commentary on the
Bible, printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1471-2 : so that it is,
in all probability, a wholly different work, and was no doubt printed

This volume must in all respects be considered a curiosity ^ as it u
the only book hitherto known to have been printed at Laugingen.
The tyijeis a small irregular roman letter; and there is a aortofsemi-
gothic look — about the whole. The capital letters are peculiar ; and
among them, the N, differing from the usuinl N, as may be seen
within nine lines of the bottom of the second page. A full page con-
tAins thirty -seven lines. There are ueilher numerals, signatures, nor
catchwords. In the whole, 107 leaves : the colophon being thus— on
the reverse of the last leaf :

Panzer, vol i, p. 470, conjectures, Bomewhst whimsically, that this
work was tlie performance of some printer passing through the city
of Laugingen; but this supposes, either that the printer travelled
with a press, or that he found the materials for printing at Laugingen
— which latter is the more reasonable inference ; and, if so, there are
doubtless other books printed at the same place. The present is a
very desirable copy, in blue morocco binding.

introduced among those who printed at Lyons in the XVth century-
See the Jnnal Typog. vol. v. p. 28, p. 477. The work is printed in n
small close gothic letter, (not very unlike that of Planck) in double
columns. A full page has thirty-four lines. There are neither
numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. Parts of this work are very
curious, and an ancient (and apparently not inattentive) reader, and
perhaps possessor, of this copy, has designated one portion — on the
recto of the seventh leal— to be " false ". There are no signatures j
but the register, on the recto of the last leaf, tells us that the gather-
ings are in eights to k, inclusively, the last leaf beijig blank. On
the reverse of k 3 is the colophon, in ten lines, ending thus ; " Im-
pressut vero Lugduni per Magislrii Sixlu Glogbcngieter almanum de Noerd-
lingen Retie." The recto of the opposite leaf is blank. A table of
five pages follows. The register occupies one column only of the

Folio. 2 vols.

The present is a magnificent copy of what I consider to be the
riBST EDITION of the Latin Bible by Eggesteyn : and although in
some few particulars it differs at the commencement^ from the descrip?
tion given of it by Panzer (vol. i. p. 80) yet it should seem that such
differences are not singular— as De Murr has noticed similar discre-
pancies in the copy in the Public Library at Nuremberg. It will be
sufficient^ in the first place, to shew how this copy differs at the
beginning from that described by Pkmzer, and, in the second place, to
shew how it differs from the edition before described— and which I
have considered {BM, Spencer, vol. i. p. 38) to be the second. In
regard to the number of lines in a page, and of leaves in a volume,
the account perfectly corresponds ; namely, forty-one lines in a page ^
820 leaves in the first volume, and 312 in the second.

I will, in the first place, give a parallel description of the copy seen
by Pbnzer, and the present :

The date of this Bible is purely conjectural. A peocit note assigns
that of 1468 to it. I have supposed a similar date to attach to the
second edition ; but I admit that it is n mere conjecture. These fine
volumes are magnificently bound in blue morocco.

206. Boccaccio. Il Piiilocolo. Printed by

John the Son of Peter {of Mentz ) at Florence.
1472. Folio.

PsiHAEdizione; and of excessive rarity— since, among all the bib-
liographical authorities which I have consulted, I perceive that the
only copy referred to is that in the collection of the Duke de la Val-
liere. See the Cat. vol. ii. p. 650. It has been supposed that this
"John" might be "the son of Peter" — Schoiffher ; but very vaguely:
and Panzer, yet more vaguely, conceives the date of the editioo
should be rather 1492 — because "about this time a certain Mentz
citizenj of the name of John, tarried or worked with the Florentine
printers," Annal. Typoy. vol. i. p. 404. On the contrary, there is
every internal endence of the work being executed by a Floreotine
press, at the period of which it bears the date. The type has a strong
resemblance to that of some of the printers in the monastery of St.
James de Ripoli, at Plorence. The impression is executed in long
lines, without numerals, signatures, or catchwords ; and a full page
contains thirty-four lines. On the recto of the first leaf, at the top,
we read as follows :

of the last :

MagiBter iouannes petri demagontia scripsit hoc

The word " acripsit" might imply ihe manual labour o{ copymg,
or transcribing with ft pen ; but I suspect it to be, here, synonymous
with " imprestil ;" although I do not observe any definition of the rerb
" scribo, " in the manual glossary of Du Fresne (Halse 1772, 8vo,)
as making that word synonymous with printing : nor does the Calho-
Ucoit, as published by Gutenberg (1460) or G. Zeiner (1469) furnish
such a synonyme. The present copy, mode sound and clean by the
skill of C. Lewis, is splendidly bound by the same binder in nissia,
with a broad border of gold. It is, in all respects, a most precious and
desirable book ; and just precedes, by eight days, the impression of
the same work pubished at Venice in the same month anil year.

is " worthy of golden notes," The first colophon, on the reverse of

" iumptihiii AngeU briianriici de Pallazolo." The printer's device, very
pretty, is below. Then a blank leaf, and another title. The second
colophon — at the end of two sets of alphabets, both in eights, but the
latter extending to N vj — tells us that this latter part was printed in

gantly bound in calf, with gilt leaves.

A most beautiful copy of the Golden Bull of the Emperor Charles I\'.
andtheRcformedor Aiuendeti Bull of FrederickIIl.,Fatberof Maximi-

second, a ij, contains a register of the chapters. On the third, a ij,

Asa specimen of the gothic type of Holl, as well na on the score of
historical information, this is a covetable volume. It waa obtained at
Augsbourg or Ulm ; but at this moment, I forget which. It is hand-
somely bound in blue morocco, by C. I^ewis.

212. Bulla Pauli II. (Printed in the Eitte-
hian Monastery.) 1470. Folio.

This Bull, of three leavea, is precisely similar to the one described
at page E)% of the preceding volume ; and without doubt printed in the
Monastery of St. Eusebius at Rome. A full page has thirty-three
lines. The copy is in every respect perfect ; and boimd in purjde
morocco.

213. C/ESAR, luLius. Oratio Vesontione ha-

This book (of which the present copy unluckily wants the second

leaf of the preface ) is an exceedingly curious volume — inasmucli as
the Editor, Brentius, then only twenty-five years of age, was a young
man of extraordinary promise, and telling us that the oration was not
to be found entire in the Commentaries or in Greek MSS. : but that,
by the help of both, he has endeavoured to complete the speech. A
letter from Brentius to Pope Sistus IV. precedes a preface by the
same " upon the Oration itself." This preface ends on the recto of
the third leaf. Then the oration of Cssar, conmiencing, thus :

C. lul. Cpsai-is oi-atio Vesontione

The fuller pages contain thirty-three and thirty-four lines — without
numerals, signatures, or catchwords. On the tenth and last leaf, the
oration ends thus :

Nam uictoribus libertas & gloria parta est :

uictis autem ignominia & mors exposita.

On the reverse are four epigrams, from which Seemiller (toI. ii.

the Duke of Cassano to be Adani de Rothville. From the Cassano
Library ; and recently bound in red morocco, by Smith.

215. ChroniconNohimbercesense. Germanice,
Printed by Koburger. 1493. Folio.

A magnificent and perfect copy of the GermaQ version of the well
known Latin original of the same date ; of which a very copious (per-
haps too much so) account appears in vol. iii. p. 255 of the Bihl. Spen-

ceriana. In nissia binding.

216. Chkysolokas. Erotemata. Gr. Without
Date, ^'c. Octavo.

This is the edition, to which a reference is made in vol. i. p. SOT of
the Bihl, Spenceriana, and which was omitted to be inserted in vol. iii.
p. 46. It is bound with an edition of the Table of Cebes — of the
eiLtreme rarity of which the reader may be convinced by consulting
the page first referred to. It lios been supposed to be printed byCal-
liergus, and the types have certainly a resemblance to those of that
printer i but his Lordship, in a subjoined note, in pencil, observes
that " the book is printed in the cliariu.'Cer of the commentary to Apol-
lonius Rhodius, 1496, and, therefore belongs to the press of Lauren-
tius Frunciscus de Alopa, who printed the five books in capital letters;
but having no date, it may be doubttiil whether this was published
before the year 1500 ; although, from its being an elementary book, it
is probable that it was ; and may perhaps even have preceded the
Anthologia of 1494." The impression is executed on signatures a to
t, inclusively, in eights ; having twenty two lines in a full page, The
earlier leaves of each signature are very imperfectly designated. On
the reverse of B viij, is the colophon, &c. thus :

contains twenty-five, and every remaining full page, twenty-aU lines.
On the reverse of the forty-secoad and last leaf, beneath seventeen
lines of text, is the colophon, thus :

218. CicEEo. Epistol^ ad Familiares. Prin-
ted by Zarotus. Milan. 1475. Folio.

This book is among; the finest specimens of the press of Zarotus ;
and, St first glance, might be mistaken for a specimen of that of
Jenson. The first page has thirty-seven lines beneath three lines of
the title, in capital letters. A full page has forty-one lines. There
are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords. On the recto of
the I96thand last leaf, beneath the word Finis, in gotliic capitals, we
read the colophon, thus :

Mediolani Anno M. cccclxxv. Duodecimo Kaleodas
Octobres Duce Galeacio Maria gloriosissimo hoc
opus diligenter emendatura non negligenter Im
pressit Antoniiis Zarotthus Parmensis Artifex

The present is a sound and large, rather than a very fair copy, (the
pKper being of a sombre tint) elegantly bound in red morocco by C.
liewis.

219. Compendium Morale. Without Name qf

Printer, Place, or Date. Folio.

If the value of a book were to be estimated by its rarity, the present
volume would probably be among the most valuable in the world ;
and if the subject were equal to its rarity, there would hardly be any
limits oflEixed to its bibliographical estimation. Unluckily the subject
is of a generally uninteresting character ; being that of moral reflec-
tions upon scriptural texts. To add to the interest, and worth of the
copy, it is PRiKTSD upon vellum. It was procured, as I have alretdy

observed ( Tour, voL iii. p. zxauv) at Nuremberg^ of Baron Derschau j
who not only assured me, on the authority of Panzer, that the work
was wholly unknown^ but that F^mzer had intended to write a little
tract upon its rarity and worth. After a very careful consideration, I
am wholly unable to appropriate its character. There are some capital
letters, such as the A. B and M, which hare an affinity to those of
Laver, but the P, R, G, and Q, differ materially ; as well as the whole
of the lower-case — which has a fiiUer face. It remains to describe
so very singular a volume.

A register of eight leaves precedes the text. The references are in
Arabic numerals. On the recto of the ninth leaf the text begins, thus :

Incipit liber qui dicitur copendiuai morale,
utilis pro sermonibiis & collacionibus faciendis.
Prologus.

This in two lines. From the beginning of the text, we find that
the author was Nicolas dk Ianua —a monk of the Augustine order.
There are neither numerals, signatures, nor catchwords : the fuller
pages contain thirty-eight and thirty-nine lines. It must be con«
fessed that the printing is not only indifferent in itself, but that the
register is very unskilfully observed. On the reverse of the 178th
and last leaf, below the 23d line, we read thus :

Explicit compendinm morale.

The condition of this book is equal to its rarity. It is throughout
clean and genuine ; and has been recently bound in blae morocco, by
C. Lewis, in a very beautiful manner.

220. CoNSUETUDiNES NEAPOLITANS. (Printed
by Riessinger.) Naples. 1482. Folio.

This is, in all respects, a very valuable book > as containing the
earliest impression of the Laws of the City of Naples. After the pro-
logue, or proheme, on the reverse of the first leaf, the text runs thus :
** Liber iste consiAetudinum CivitaHt NeapoV composUus JitH ex consuetudi-
nibus antiquis non in formam scr^tura redactis/* &c. The whole work
was printed under the editorial care of Tuppo, with the Commentary
of Sebastianus. It is executed in double columns, with prefixes, and
occasional passages, in the large gothic t3rpe of the printer. There

the different branches of the Cicini family. The re^ster follows the
address of Tuppo. In the whole, 199 leaves — without numerola, aig-
natures, or catchwords. Although this copy is not free from a good
deal of ms. annotation in an ancient hand, yet it is large, clean, aud
most desirahle. From the Caasano Collection. Bound in blue mo-
rocco, by C. Lewis.

A prefix of five lines, and one word of a sixth, precede the oration.
There are twenty-four lines below. A fill! page has thirty-one lines.
In the whole, ten leaves ; without numerals, signatures, or c;ilch-
words. " A most devout oration," or prayer to the Virgin, occupies
the ninth leafj and we learn, from the prefix to the colophon — on the
recto of the tenth leaf — that whoever repeats that prayer in a very
devout manner, the Pope will grant him, or her, " one hundred days
of remission of the pains of penance in another world." The colo-
phon ia thus :

223. Dati ELEGANTioLiE. Printed by Adam.

Among the very rarest editions of this work, and probably not
executed later than the year 1472. There are neither numerals, sig-
natures, nor catchwords. A full page contains twenty-seven lines.
On the recto of the thirty third and last leaf^ we read the following
colophon :

Presserat hoc primo placuit formare secundo
Ne desit : ^uis sit breue : doctus Adam.

The types of this book are exactly conformable to those in the
Virgil, and Cicero's Epistles to his Friends, described at pages 107
and 287 of the preceding volume. All the books, executed by this
printer, are very rare. The present is a large and beautiful copy,
bound in olive-coloured morocco, by C. Lewis.

name of printer be subjoined, the tyyx is precisely conformable to the
Binaller character of Azoguidi. A table occupies the first leaf : then
the Latia version of Dindonis Siculua, without any pre&t. The teJLt
of this author occupies ninety-one leaves ; having the imprint thus
singularly expressed :

The reverse is blank. The tract of Tacitus occupies the six following
leaves. Tliere are neither numerals, signatures, uor catchwords. A
full page occupies forty-two lines. Bound in foreign vellum.

228. Fazio deoli Uberti. Dita Mundi.
Printed by Leonardus BcuUiensia. Vicenza.
1474. Folio.

Prima Edizione ; of exceedingly great rarity. There are few of
the foreign collections, and still fewer of our own, which contain a
copy of this most desirable impression. The present copy was a gift
to his Lordship by the Marquis di Trivulzio of Milan. The edition is
briefly but accurately described by Brunet, who notices the signatures
(many of them sufficiently barbarous) printed at a considerable dis-
tance below the textj so that purchasers must look well to their ap-
pearance, otherwise their copies will be comparatively short. On
the recto of the first leaf (a i) is the title, in six lines of capital let-
ters: from which we learn that the Dita Mundi was^ composed by
Fazio degli Uberti of Florence. The poem commences, thus :

On p tractar gliafani chio sofersi
nel mio luogo chami ne le paure
de rima en rima tesso qsti uersi.
Ma per uoler contar le cosse obscure,
chio uidi et chio udio che son si noue

&c. &c. &c.

The types strongly resemble those of Rugerius and Bertochus,*Bo-
lognese printers. The signatures run from a to n, in eights : it has
six leaves^ and o four. On the reverse of o ii\j^ is the metrical colo-
phon, thus :

a testimony of the ability of Stephanus Fliacus de Soncino " vir

The work consists of a collection of passages, upon divers points
of Scripture, from the Fathers ; and finds a place in this library as a

description I have here nothing to odd, except a full beUef that the
work is from the press of Riesawger : although I am at a loss to know
what the capital letters, I A. RV. can stand for. The malformation
of the capital letter N betrays the jiress of Riesainger, and not that
of Ulric Han. This volume is also handsomely illuminated in the first
pAge, and is in yet liner condition than the first. Between the table
and the text, there are three blank original leaves. 1 apprehend this
to be the/ourlh edition of the work. In yellow calf binding with gilt

244. HiERONiHj EpisTOLf. ( Printed hf Men-

ielin). Without Date,^'c. Folio.

Without doubt the second editiok of the work; and printed at
least as early as the year 1469 : since the copy of it, in the Brienne
Collection, had the date of 1469 slamped in ancient characterSt
on the binJing. That copy was sold for 1200 francs. Consult
Brunet. A table of two leaves precedes the test. On the recto of
the third leaf begins the letter of Pope Dutnasus to Jerom. The work
is printed in double columns, in the large gotbic letter of Mentelin,
precisely similar to that of his Virgil and Terence. A full page eon-
tains fifty lines. On the reverse of the 823d and last leaf, the text
ends, thus :

^lienatt ^at petca

The present copy, obtained of M. Chardin of Paris, is a clean,
sound, and desirable copy ; and contains, at the end, a notice of the
rarity of the book, together with a fac-simile of the date of the bind-
ing, above mentioned. In blue morocco blading.

245. Hippocrates. De Tnsomniis. Without
Name of Printer, Place, or Date. Quarto.

An address from Andreas Brentiua to Zacharias Barbarus precedes
that to the Pope, by the same person, who is the translator of*the
piece, which begins on the reverse of the tifth leaf: and occupies, ia
fact, but eleven pages. The five fallowing leaves are occupied by an
address, from the same person, to Ni. Gupalalinus. 1 am not sure
that this piece is perfect. Without numerals, signatures, or catch-
words In olivc-morocco binding.

Homer might have written the poem of the Frogs and Mice. The

version begins thus :

Stc. &c. Stc.

The poem occupies the live following leaves ; having twenty-6ve
lines in n full page: printed in a round handsome roman letter, with-
out numerals, signatures, or catchwords. In the whole, eight leaves :
ending thns :

Tliis copy is in an almost uncut state, hound with several tracts be-
fore described : among tvliich, however, is a curious metrical epistle
in hexameters and pentameters) of Pope Pius II. to the Turkish Em-
peror, with a poetical reply, in the same metre, by the Turk : in
which the Grand Signor is so complimentary as to prefer his Holi-
ness to the cause of Christianity ;

Sed nos te solum longo ueueramur in euo
Te solum colimiis: solus & ipse places.

This very curious, and 1 make no doubt, very rare piece is printed ou
two leaves only ; in a close, thick, roman letter : and is perhaps as
old OS the year 1474.

247- HoRATius. Printed by P. Condam Petri.
Venice. 1477 Folio.

A most magniticent copy of the tirst of the three editions of Horace
by this printer j the two latter being of the dates of 1478 and 1479.
The existence of this edition has been doubted : n doubt which must
no longer be entertained. It is executed on signatures A to P in
eights : a being on the left side of Ihe signature, and the letter cj
always denoting the fourth leaf of the signature. P has only five

248. HoBATius. De Arte Poe1:ica. Printed
by Jacobus de Breda. No Date. Quarto.

This is a rare and not incurious volume^ inasmuch as it contains a
wood-cut, in the frontispiece, of a man, (taken from one of the cuts
in an edition of the '' Speculum Humans Salvationis) which is in-
tended for a portrait of lacobus de Breda, the printer ) and of which
a jBac-simile appears in the BibUogr, Decameron, vol. ii. p. 291-2. The
title denotes the text to be " amended in some places.*' In the
whole, ten leaves : A 6, and B 4 5 but A 3 and 4 are unluckily want-
ing in this copy. In the black letter, a full page having twenty-nine

This book appears to be printed in a letter resembling that of
Creusner, or the larger type of Eggesieyn.f The capitals are through-
out in the roman letter, but the lower case is gothic. Without
numerals, signatures, or catchwords 5 printed in double columns
upon paper of a remarkably stout quality. A table occupies the

Patricio P'cnetiano de AUri Sapientintimi h&m'mi." The work is without
signatures, numerals, or catchwords ; although some signatures have
been subsequently printed, in a very bungling manner, by the hand.
The work is wholly metrical. On the recto of the seventy-first and
last leaf, is the colophon in fourteen lines — from which I transcribe
the latter part :

The principal subject, or title of these Dialogues, is Cbaron ; of
which the version is by Hinucius Aretinus — who, from the postscript,
on the recto of the last leaf, appears to have translated it from the
Greek as an amusement, in the country, during an indifferent state of
health — nnd to rid himself of the throng of the fashionable world at
Rome. Audiffredi, {Edit. Rmii- p. 409) appears to have l>een in-
debted to his friend R. V. T. V. for his account of this edition,
which is justly supposed to be printed in the same types with the
Homilies of (-'hryiosiom, of which a fac-simile appears in vol. i. p. 194.
A sort of summary of contents, in twenty-two lines, is on the reverse

This is a very curious volume in a typographical point of view : in-

strong resemblance to those of the first Horace, but which, on a second
examination, will be found to be more regular, as well .as the press-
work more skilfully executed. The printer is supposed to be Clemen*

264. MissALE Fratrum Puedicatordm. Prin-

I am not sure whether anv volume in this library, exceeds the pre-
sent, for the uniform beauty of its execution — upo.s vbllum — in a
fine, large, and flowing gothic letter, in double columns ; and, her«,
illuminated throughout in a very delicate and striking manner. The
vellum has scarcely one blemished page : but the twenty-eighth and
twenty-ninth leaves are unluckily ms. : and yet, executed in a manner
to escape an unpractised eye. Tlie printer was the father-in-law of
Aldus. The title in eight lines, diminishing to a point, is on the
recto of the first leaf. " M'asaU lecundum cotuuetudinem fratrum pre-

nymes occupy seventeen leaves : having the general colophon, in four
lines, on the reverse of the seventeenth leaf. Panzer calls them
eighteen leaves, but erroneously — as there appears to be no defect in
this copy. The whole is without signatures, &c.

Bound up with this work, and in all probability published with it,
is the tract or book of SeaviToR or SesArio : thus entitled :

Hod the condition of this beautiful little book been equal to its axe,
it would have been a moat covetable volume. It is printed upon
VBLLUM ; and, as I strongly suspect, by Jenaon. The iUuminations
have been much injured. A coeval ms, inscription, at the end, de-

Thia copy, pbinted v?oh vellum, in the gothic type, has been much

The Library of his Lordship can boiist of few more elegant little

letter ; the pnge narrow: the margin bi'uad : and the vEi,Lttit, upon
which this i;opy happens to be pi-inted, is in a perfect state for colour
and quality. The Calendar occupies the first twelve leaves : then
three pages of *' the seven joys of the blessed Virgin" — followed by
the commencement of St. John's Gospel : in the whole, fifteen leaves
of preliminary matter. A very indifferent wood-cut of the annunci-
ation is on the reverse of the fifteenth leaf. The text occupies 106
leaves, without signatures, &c. although this copy has them very
skilfully inserted by a pen. On the recto of the last leaf, the colo-

This is an exceedingly rare book, and will be found described in

merals, but has catchwords on the reverse of every leaf; which
renders it a typographical curiosity. I should suppose the date of It
to be about 1474-6. The text begins thus :

279. Petrarcha . Sonetti e Trionfi. Prin-
ted by Zarotus. Milan. 1473. Folio.

As far as I can observe, both Panzer and and Brunei rely chiefly
upon the copy of this edition in the VaUiere CoUection, and it is evi-
dent that the latter bibliographer had never seen it, from the brevity
of his description. I have little doubt of its being among the rarest
impressions of the poet extant ; and that there are few copies in the
libraries of the curious. The edition appears to want both the life of
Petrarch and a table: commencing thus, oa the recto of the first leaf,
at top :

Oi chascoltate in rime sparse

I have compared several Sonnets of this edition with similar ones
in the parent text of V. de Spira of 1470, and find a perfect confor-
mity between them : at the same time, I have found frequent discre-
pancies between this text and that of Itertholomeeus de Valdezocho
of 1479. There are neither Bignatures, numerals, nor catchwords : a

This copy, of one of the rarest of the editions of I'etrarch — imper-

is unfortunately imperfect ; wanting- the first leaf, the ninth, 131st,
132d, and 133d of the Sonnets — being the last but three of their ter-
mination. The colophou, in seven lines, is on the reverse of the iSGth

The present is a fine, large, genuine copy, of probably one of the

he says the volume has 108 leaves, whereas it has only fifty-three.
That the text ia not a literal copy from that of the Editio princeps of
Spira, in 1470, may be discovered on travelling no further than
the fourth line: as "omnia nostra vis" are printed, here, instead
of " nostra omnis vis, " as in the former, This preciousbookisprinted

309 Speculum Humane Salvationis. Laf.
Printed in part with Wooden Blocks.. Folio.

I have before goTie so fully into the lustory of this work — as con-
nected with what is supposed to he the/r«( edition of it, in the Dutch
langunge— that little remains to be said of it here, except that the
present seems to be the/«t of the La H/t impressions. A proheme,
containing a list of the subjects, or chapters, occupies the first five
pages : printed only on one side of the leaf — in the whole, five leaves.
The text, upon these leaves is printed in a character precisely resem-
bling that of the Catoofwhich a fac-simile appears in the Bibl. Spencer.
vol. iv. 47fi, except that the original has a squarer and sharper aspect
— and is undoubtedly metal type. The ink is jet-black. We now
come to the first two pages of the text, with the corresponding wood-
cuts at top— of which the whole, as well text as embellishmnit, is
cut ill wood. The 3rd page of text gives us again the metal type )
the 4th, 5th 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, loth, and lith have the text decidedly
from wooden blocks : the twelfth page of text is from metal types : the
13th and 14th pages are from wood; the 15th, metal: I6th, 17th,
wood : 18th, 19th, 20th, metal ; 21, 22, wood ; 23, 24, 35, metal :
26, 27, wood : from 27 to 45, inclusively, metal : 46, wood : hence,
to p. 54, inclusively, metal: 55, wood : 56, 5", 53, metal : the two last
being injured and imperfect. In the whole, sixty three leaves. "Hie
cuts and types, from wood, are uniformly of the same pale colour — -
and the nietal texts are of the same black colour. This copy was ob-
tained of Mr. R. Triphook i but it hud been previously sold, at the
sole of the Merly Library, f.»r 315/. In old blue morocco binding.

310. Speculum Human.* Salvationis. Hoi-
landice. Printed by Veldener. 1483. Quarto.

This is a desirable little volume to possess, as forming part of
the series of books published upon this subject. The present edi-
tiun is noticed by Henekeii, at p. 457, of his WA, &c. ; and he
conceives that these are the very blocks, cut in two in the middle,
which served for the edition described in the iv.th volume of this
work; but I have great doubts about the accuracy of this suppoeitionj
although the subjects seem to be in general pretty fmthfully copied
from thoK of the edition in question, The type has a strong Caxto-

at the abbey of St. Albans in 1480 : see vol. iv. p. 36?, nnd the fnc-
simile in vol. iii. p. 377. The irapressioD begins with a wood cut of
the crueiftxiou, with Veldener'a device below. The prologue, and
beads of chapters follow. The first wood cut, together with the test,
follows on the reverse of b j : a has four leaves, but from 6 to i the
signatures run in eights : the whole of signature a being wanting in
this copy the render may see several fiic-fiimiles of these cuts, in the
